Craigellachie 13 Years Speyside Malt Scotch [700ML]

Description

Looking for a Speyside single malt that challenges convention with bold, unapologetically robust character?

As a certified spirits specialist, I can tell you that Craigellachie 13 Years Speyside Malt Scotch breaks the mold of typical smooth Speyside expressions. This Premium whisky from one of Scotland’s most traditional distilleries uses worm tub condensers—a rare old-fashioned technique that creates distinctively meaty, sulphurous depth. Unlike gentler offerings such as the Singleton of Glendullan Classic or Tamdhu 12 Years, Craigellachie delivers fierce complexity that rewards adventurous palates.

• Distillery: Craigellachie – established 1891 in the heart of Speyside
• Region: Speyside, Scotland – known for elegant yet characterful malts
• ABV: 40% – approachable strength that maintains intense flavour profile
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: 13 years in American oak and European oak casks
• Tasting Notes: Nose reveals tropical pineapple and grilled meat with subtle smoke. Palate delivers bold malty sweetness, barbecued pineapple, black pepper, and distinctive sulphur notes. Finish is long, warming, with lingering spice and charred oak.
• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature, or with a splash of water to open aromatics

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly captivating for those graduating from mainstream Speysides. The muscular character and unconventional sulphur notes create polarizing yet memorable drinking experiences that spark conversation.

Ideal for: Whisky enthusiasts seeking distinctive character, impressive corporate gifts, or additions to serious collections. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian cuisine like beef rendang, char siu pork, or aged cheddar with sambal—the bold flavours complement rather than overpower. Recommended for: Adventurous drinkers ready to explore beyond conventional profiles; also consider the GlenAllachie 10 Years Batch 11 for sherried complexity. Available at RM 260 with Malaysia-wide delivery.
