| Imagine cracking open a cask of Craigellachie single malt after 11 long years. You've had a little taste, and things are looking good, but how many bottles will that cask yield? It's always the last fun fact that we discover when adding a new release to our collection of single cask editions, because we're the ones watching and waiting, then pouring out that delicious nectar into each bottle. This single malt spent its time in a whopping great refill sherry butt between 2011 and 2022, and we counted a total of 763 bottles when all was said and done. | |

Nose Burnt toffee and toasted, honeyed nuts, buttered malt loaf, and sweet, syrup-soaked sponge cake. Drying oak spice arrives in time, cushioned by hedgerow fruits. Palate A big welcoming embrace of bold, robust oak, countered by treacly toffee, cocoa, and caramel. Sprinklings of warming baking spice coat the palate, balanced brilliantly by the toffee sweetness. Finish Complex layers of poached apples, sweet souffle, and toffee sauce tangle with cracked black pepper, and dark chilli and ginger chocolate. |
