1995 Craigellachie 21 Year Old "Old Particular - K&L Exclusive" Single Barrel Cask Strength Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky

With Bacardi's Craigellachie taking home "Best Single Malt in the World" from Whisky Magazine for its 31 year old expression, the world's attention is now on one of the Speyside's lesser-known distilleries. Unless you're a K&L customer, of course, in which case you're probably aware that we've been bottling sherry-aged delights from Craigellachie for years now. While we've done a few stunning 18 and 19 year old editions recently, this 21 year old single cask edition not only takes the cake, it puts the cake in cakebread. Loaded with rich sherry flavor, at 53.3% cask strength the richness is accented by layers of caramel and sweet Oloroso character that are lifted by the higher ABV. The real shocker is that we managed to maintain the same price as the 18 year old editions, but for an even old whisky. Considering the official Craigellachie 23 year edition sells for nearly $250, we think our customers are going to be pretty jazzed about the sub-$100 price tag. Seeing that the distillery is well on its way to establishing a wider reputation, this might be the last time we locate this kind of hot deal.
