This exquisite 10-year-old single cask whisky has been bottled by the esteemed family-run independent bottler, Hunter Laing & Co., as part of their First Edition series. Distilled in 2008 at the renowned Craigellachie distillery in Speyside, this single malt has been gracefully matured for a decade in a single sherry cask. Bottled in 2019 at a balanced strength of 46% ABV, this rare expression is limited to just 528 bottles, making it a true collector's item.
On the nose, expect an enticing bouquet of sweet strawberries and toffee apples, complemented by hints of dried fruit, cinnamon, nutmeg, sherry, and vanilla. As you take a sip, the palate is greeted with more sweet berries, particularly blackberries, alongside an oaky spice and notes of apple, vanilla, and walnut. The finish is long and lingering, leaving behind a warm trail of cinnamon, spice, and oak, accompanied by a distinctive peppery note.
This whisky is aged for 10 years.
Only 528 bottles were produced for this release.
The Craigellachie 2008 ED The 1st Editions Sherry Butt HL 15831 is a delightful whisky that exemplifies the quality and craftsmanship of both Hunter Laing & Co. and the Craigellachie distillery. Its rich, fruity nose and complex palate offer a wonderful balance of sweetness and spice, making it a pleasure to sip. The long, lingering finish is the perfect ending to this thoroughly enjoyable single malt. A must-try for any whisky enthusiast.
