Craigellachie 2009/2023 - 13 Years French Red Wine Cask Finish Benchmark (Murray McDavid)

Special features: This limited single cask bottling from Murray McDavid presents a 13-year-old Craigellachie, which received an additional finish in French red wine casks after its maturation in traditional oak barrels. With a cask strength of 58.3% ABV and a natural color without the addition of coloring agents, this whisky offers an authentic and intense tasting experience. The bottling is limited to only 280 bottles, making it a coveted rarity for collectors and connoisseurs.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Rich fruity notes of red berries and grapes combine with sweet honey, malty accents, and a hint of coffee.
• Palate: Full-bodied and intense, yet creamy smooth with flavors of chocolate pralines, baking spices, and floral nuances.
• Finish: Oily and malty, accompanied by a fine bittersweet cocoa aftertaste.

Distillery/Bottler: The Craigellachie Distillery, founded in 1891, is located in the heart of Speyside and is known for its characteristic, heavier whisky style, shaped by the use of worm tubs during distillation. Murray McDavid, an independent bottler, was founded in 1996 and specializes in bottling selected single malts. They are known for their "ACE" method (Additional Cask Enhancement), where whiskies undergo additional maturation in special casks after the main aging to develop extra flavors.
