Cadenhead's Original Collection Craigellachie-Glenlivet 18 Year Old is a bold, mature Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, crafted at the Craigellachie-Glenlivet Distillery and aged for nearly two decades in refill Oloroso hogsheads. Bottled at a perfect 46% ABV, this non chill-filtered, naturally colored whisky reveals the complex influence of sherry cask maturation while retaining the distillery’s distinctive character.
This 18-year-old expression boasts a nuanced profile with a rich balance of fruit, sweetness, and savory undertones, supported by gentle spice and a touch of florality. The refill sherry casks provide subtle layers of dried fruit and nutty depth without overwhelming the malt’s core identity.
