Craigduff 45 Year Old 1973 Signatory 30th Anniversary is a remarkable Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Signatory Vintage to celebrate their 30th Anniversary series. Distilled in 1973 and matured for an extraordinary 45 years in a refill sherry butt (#2518), this rare expression was bottled in June 2018 at natural cask strength, with just 575 bottles released.

Craigduff is a little-seen and highly intriguing Speyside distillery name, widely associated with experimental peated spirit production at Glen Keith Distillery during the 1970s. This long-aged single cask offers a fascinating glimpse into that history, where gentle peat influence intertwines with decades of sherry cask maturation to create a whisky of exceptional depth and character.
