Craigellachie 14 Year Old Spirit of Speyside 2026 Whisky

The Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival is a world‑renowned celebration of Scotch whisky, drawing enthusiasts from across the globe to the heart of Speyside. With a programme often featuring more than 500 whisky‑inspired events, it offers an unforgettable experience for both newcomers and seasoned connoisseurs. Since its launch in 1999, the festival has become a landmark gathering for those united by a passion for Scotland’s national drink.

Released exclusively for the 2026 Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, Craigellachie 14 Year Old Single Oloroso Cask marks the fifth annual Craigellachie festival bottling. This limited‑edition release celebrates our unmistakably bold, fiery spirit from The Rock of Speyside, elevated through careful maturation in a single Oloroso sherry cask selection.
The use of Oloroso cask maturation has been chosen to complement and enhance Craigellachie’s robust character. Malt Master Stephanie Macleod closely monitors each cask throughout maturation, allowing flavour to develop naturally until the whisky reaches its optimum expression and is deemed ready to bottle.

Offered in extremely limited quantities, this is a highly collectable festival‑exclusive release.

Aromas of grilled pineapple and vanilla, with rich notes of sherried fruits and sultanas, layered with dark chocolate and toasted almonds, balanced with subtle spiced warmth
