Special features: This 14-year-old single malt whisky from the renowned Speyside distillery Craigellachie was bottled by Duncan Taylor in the exclusive "The Octave" series. After seven years of maturation in oak casks, it received a nine-month finish in a small sherry octave cask, leading to a more intense development of flavors. With a cask strength of 54.2% and a limited edition of only 74 bottles, this whisky presents itself in its purest form: not chill-filtered and without color additives.
