GreatDrams 50th Single Cask Release – only 115 bottles produced

We love the Craigellachie Distillery, always have, always will. That’s why we chose this cask for the GreatDrams fiftieth bottling. This whisky has been matured for over eight years in a first fill ex-Bourbon cask followed by sixteen months in an ex-Rum cask, our first use of rum casks in our maturation and finishing gave it additional sweetness along with the robust Craigellachie character with its tropical pineapple notes being the stars. Cannot quite believe we have gotten to a half century of releases now… here’s to the next half century and more!

The whiskies we release in The GreatDrams Rare Cask Series are amongst the rarest releases in the whisky industry as they cannot be repeated, they are not blended and are the truest representation of a distillery’s character you can get. I genuinely hope you enjoy this whisky, the first release in the GreatDrams Rare Cask Series, as much as I do.
