Craigellachie The Octave Single Oloroso Sherry Cask #7540769 Whisky 13 Year Old · 2011 Vintage
In stock
A Craigellachie single malt from The Octave series, this 13 year old was distilled in 2011 and bottled in 2024 after maturation in an Oloroso sherry octave cask. Bottled at 54.6% ABV, the release was limited to 94 bottles.
Octave casks, much smaller than traditional sherry casks, intensify wood interaction and concentrate flavour. The Oloroso maturation brings rich dried fruit sweetness, spice and nutty depth to Craigellachie’s robust Speyside spirit, complementing the distillery’s naturally weighty, slightly sulphurous and fruit-forward character in a concentrated single cask release.
Tasting Notes: Sherry, sugared doughnuts, cheesecake, milk chocolate, green beans.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Opulent sherry nose with rich dried fruits—raisin, fig, orange peel—woven with warm spice and nutty depth. Sugared doughnuts and cheesecake sweetness mingle with milk chocolate, while creamy oak and a whisper of sulphur give Craigellachie’s robust, fruit-forward character a polished, inviting aroma.
