Craigellachie Signatory Vintage Un-Chillfiltered Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 2009 Vintage
In stock
Bottled by Signatory Vintage for the Un-Chillfiltered Collection, this Craigellachie was distilled in 2009 and bottled in 2026 at 16 years old. At 46% ABV, it shows a more mature and composed side of the distillery, while still keeping the firm, weighty character that makes Craigellachie stand out among Speyside malts.
With 16 years in cask, the whisky is likely to have developed extra polish and depth, bringing together orchard fruit, malt richness, gentle spice and seasoned oak. It makes for a fuller Speyside style, with a little more structure and old-school character than a lighter, fruitier dram.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Sun-warmed barley and honeyed grain rise on the nose, with ripe pear and orange zest. Vanilla pod and toffee sweetness mingle with warming spices—clove and nutmeg—while a subtle whisper of smoke and waxy mineral notes add depth, finishing in polished oak.
Palate
Full-bodied and mouth-coating with an oily glaze. Ripe orchard fruit and baked apple rise through ribbons of golden syrup and toffee, draped in vanilla while cinnamon and clove add spice. Subtle oak and citrus zest illuminate the mid-palate, finishing long, warm, and comforting with a honeyed, caramel-soaked finish.
Finish
Long, creamy finish of honeyed malt with citrus zest and almond, evolving spice of cinnamon and clove, brushed by soft oak and vanilla; a warm, lingering sweetness that persists gracefully.
