Single Malt Scotch | 46% ABV (92 Proof) | 750mL
Process & Profile
Craigellachie 13 Year Old is a Speyside single malt that defies regional expectations with its bold, meaty character. Distilled using traditional worm tub condensers—a rare practice in modern Scotch production—it gains a distinctive weight and texture. This whisky is non-chill filtered and aged for 13 years in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, resulting in a dram that bridges classic Speyside fruitiness with old-school muscularity.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does “worm tub” mean, and why does it matter?
A worm tub is a coiled copper condenser used in traditional distillation. It cools vapors more slowly, resulting in a heavier, meatier spirit.
2. Is this whisky peated?
No, it is not heavily peated. The smoky character comes from the distillation style rather than peat smoke.
3. Is Craigellachie 13 chill-filtered or colored?
It is non-chill filtered to retain texture and flavor; however, it may contain a small amount of caramel coloring.
4. How does it compare to other Speyside whiskies?
It is more robust and sulfuric than typical Speyside whiskies, offering a unique contrast to lighter, fruitier malts.
5. Is it a limited edition?
No, this is a core expression in the Craigellachie lineup, though its distinctive character makes it feel like a hidden gem.
