Craigellachie 13 Year Bas Armagnac Cask Finish

The new Craigellachie Cask Collection, according to those behind it, initially kicks off with the distillery’s 13 year old whisky. It is initially aged in American Oak – a combination of re-fill and re-char Bourbon barrels – and then laid to rest in Bas-Armagnac casks sourced from the northernmost part of Gascony, in France, for just over a year, to undergo a second period of maturation. “Craigellachie is a distinctly bold and brooding malt; full-bodied and meaty so we are using these cask types to complement and elevate the signature character of the distillery, not mask it, to add an extra dimension of flavour and intrigue,” said Craigellachie’s Malt Master, Stephanie Macleod, in a prepared statement.
