A 2009 vintage Craigellachie independently bottled by the good folk at Thompson Bros. The Craigellachie style of whisky is a memorable experience thanks to the continuing use of worm tubs at the distillery. If you've not tried single malt Craigellachie yet, this is certainly a fine place to start! Matured for 13 years in cask, bottled in 2022 at 50% vol.
