Producer's Notes

THE STORY OF THIS CASK For me, this 11 Year Old Craigellachie represents both happiness and heartache. Craigellachie Distillery has held a place in my heart since my early years working on Copper Dog. A single sip of this waxy, textural yet somehow fruity whisky transports me back to happy summers in Speyside, often passing by the vast open windows of the stillhouse, home to the large stills and worm tub condenser that hold the secrets to this distinctive spirit character. Finished for ten months in one of our Hungarian Tokaji casks, this whisky was the obvious sample to bring with me as I joined the Tartan Army to watch Scotland’s decisive match against Hungary in the 2024 UEFA European Championship. Naturally, I was hoping the beautiful harmony between the can- dy notes of the Hungarian wine and the waxy character of the Craigellachie spirit would turn out to be the taste of victory. Alas, it ended up as a much more savoury memory - helping to drown our sorrows as the Hungarians dashed Scottish hopes of progressing to the next round. At least the whisky meant I could enjoy one sweet finish.
