Craigellachie has earned its reputation for a weightier, more old-fashioned Speyside style, helped by its continued use of worm tub condensers, which create a fuller, more robust spirit than many modern setups. The official range remains firmly age-stated, with expressions such as the 13, 17 and 23 Year Olds, and the distillery also bottles at natural colour rather than evening out batches with spirit caramel. That combination of muscular house style, traditional production and long links to blending gives Craigellachie a character that sits slightly apart from the more polished side of Speyside.
