Craigellachie 21 Year Old 2002 Connoisseurs Choice (Gordon & MacPhail) 70cl, 57.9%

Description

Craigellachie 21 Year Old 2002 Connoisseurs Choice (Gordon & MacPhail) 70cl, 57.9% is a limited Speyside single malt bottled at cask strength after 21 years in a single refill bourbon barrel between 2002 and 2024. It is an independent bottling with real presence, combining mature Craigellachie character with the cleaner, fruit-led style that refill bourbon wood can deliver.

With an outturn of just 219 bottles, this is a clearly collectible release as well as a serious drinker’s whisky. The profile leans toward white chocolate, vanilla, apple, malted biscuit, ripe banana, mango, peach, pepper, and lime, giving it a bright but layered style rather than a heavy oak-led one.
