Craigellachie 13 Year Old Bas-Armagnac Cask Whisky

The inspiration behind this expression comes from Craigellachie’s signature use of traditional worm tub condensers, a technique that imparts weight and depth to the spirit, which led us to seek out cooperages that similarly employ worm tubs in their oak-aged spirits. Bas-Armagnac, renowned for its robust, spicy, and fruity profile, was the perfect choice for finishing this whisky, imparting layers of dried fruits, ripe plums, toasted oak, and gentle vanilla sweetness.

The whisky’s initial maturation in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks ensures a solid foundation of vanilla creaminess, honeyed notes, and rich spice, while the Bas-Armagnac finish adds complexity and a subtle hint of warmth, balancing the whisky’s natural muscularity with elegance and finesse. This fusion delivers a bold yet approachable dram that highlights Craigellachie’s rugged charm while opening new flavour horizons for whisky lovers. A truly remarkable whisky for those seeking something exceptional.

Expect comforting notes of baked apple and warm cinnamon, layered with toasted cereal and a hint of caramel shortcake sweetness. The Bas-Armagnac cask finish adds a gentle fruitiness, rounding out Craigellachie’s bold, full-bodied character with a smooth and elegant touch.
