Linkwood First Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead 2011

From The Heart of Speyside

Built in 1891 in the heart of Speyside, between the towns of Rothes and Dufftown, Craigallachie is positioned near the joining of the river Spey with the river Fiddich. The distillery was co-founded by Alexander Edward, who established Aultmore distillery and Peter Mackie, of the famous "White Horse" blending company. The team run two wash stills and two spirit stills and produce around four million litres of whisky a year.

Own label bottlings of Craigallachie used to be very rare, but this has all changed around 2010 when a number of new age-statement releases hit the shelves. A13 year old, 17 year old, 19 year old and 23 year old were all made available as part of Bacardi's "Last Great Malts" series.
