Description

A bottle of Craigellachie 16 Year Old, distilled on 11 October 1978 and bottled from a single cask. This was bottled by Direct Wines Limited for their First Cask series and was available exclusively to First Cask Circle Members.

This is bottle number 599 from cask number 7703.

This comes with a pamphlet with history of the distillery and tasting notes.

In the 1890s, whisky expert Alfred Barnard noted that Craigellachie represented an old fashioned style of whisky 'seldom met with now'. Today, the distillery has maintained its traditional methods, using worm tubs to cool the spirit from the stills.

This Craigellachie 1978 sold at our online auction for £105
