Tasting Notes

Nose Dark cherries, blackberry compote, polished oak, and cocoa with hints of toasted nuts and warming spice. Palate Rich and oily, revealing flavours of berry fruits, treacle, sweet malt, dark chocolate, and elegant port wine sweetness balanced by Craigellachie’s signature waxy texture. Finish Long and warming, with lingering red fruits, oak spice, cocoa bitterness, and gentle tannic dryness.

Craigellachie 15 Year Old 2008 is a bold and richly flavoured Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by respected independent bottler Hart Brothers after a full 15 years maturation in a Port Pipe. Distilled in 2008 at Craigellachie Distillery and bottled in August 2023 at a commanding 55.7% ABV, this exceptional release showcases Hart Brothers’ talent for selecting unique and characterful casks.

The Port Pipe maturation adds luxurious layers of dark berries, plum compote, chocolate, and warming spice to Craigellachie’s naturally robust and slightly waxy spirit character. The combination creates a richly textured whisky where fruity port sweetness beautifully complements the distillery’s trademark oily mouthfeel and subtle sulphury complexity. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a powerful and highly distinctive Speyside malt.

The Distillery

Craigellachie
Craigellachie Distillery, founded by Alexander Edward and Peter Mackie in 1888 and opened in 1891, anchors the Speyside whisky village that shares its name. Designed by celebrated architect Charles C. Doig, it remains one of the few malt whisky distilleries in Scotland to cool its spirit using traditional worm tubs, contributing to the distinctive, full-bodied profile of its single malts. While the majority of Craigellachie’s output supports famous blends like White Horse and Dewar’s, discerning whisky enthusiasts can discover independent bottlings that showcase the distillery’s unique heritage and architectural significance within the Speyside region.
