A deeper, richer take on Cragiellachie's bold house style, the 17 Year Old represents a confident evoultion of the distillery's signature character - muscular, meaty, and proudly unconventional. 

Matured for 17 years and bottled at 46% ABV, this expression introduces a greater depth and maturity, with the tropical fruit notes of the younger whisky developing into more exotic, layered flavours. The result is a full-bodied Speyside single malt that’s complex yet approachable, offering whisky lovers a rewarding step further into the Craigellachie range.

More About Craigellachie 17 Year Old Whisky

Product Details

This is a whisky that invites contemplation, maturing Craigellachie's unique house style for 17 years in a combination ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. This period of maturation allows the subtle influences from the cask to shine through, bringing a delicate underlying sweetness that complements the distillery’s robust spirit. Recurrent winner of the Platinum award at the San Francisco Wine and Spirits Competition, this whisky is a fantastic example of what Craigellachie has to offer.

You’ll find the trademark tropical fruitiness of of the distillery, now deeper and less vibrant than in the younger age statements, but there’s also a richer texture, hints of oak spice, and a soft, lingering sweetness that suggests time well spent in carefully selected casks. The slightly fired flavour profile of Craigellachie manifests itself as barbequed meats and toasted marshmallows. With its slightly oily mouthfeel, the flavours linger on the palate, allowing each sip to reveal new nuances. It’s a whisky that rewards slow enjoyment - ideal for those who appreciate bold single malts with a distinctive point of view.

Craigellachie is one of the few distilleries that still uses traditional worm tub condensers, which help preserve the weight and complexity of the spirit. Whether you’re a long-time Craigellachie fan or exploring our range for the first time, this is a dram that offers real depth and character, and one that makes a lasting impression.

Tasting Notes

Craigellachie 17 Year Old opens with soft notes of vanilla and rich exotic fruits, offering an immediate sense of depth and warmth. On the palate, vibrant hints of dried pineapple bring a tangy sweetness, balanced by a subtle undercurrent of smoky liquorice that adds intrigue and complexity to the finish. A bold yet refined dram with layers to explore.
