Discover a wonderfully characterful Speyside single malt with this Craigellachie 16 Year Old 2009, independently bottled by Signatory Vintage as part of its celebrated Un-Chillfiltered Collection.
 
Distilled at Craigellachie Distillery on 1st January 2009, this small-batch release spent sixteen years maturing exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels before being bottled in June 2026 at 46% ABV. 
Presented with natural colour and without chill filtration, it showcases Craigellachie's distinctive spirit in its purest form.
 
Unlike many Speyside whiskies known for delicate floral notes, Craigellachie has long been admired for its robust, waxy and subtly savoury character. The first-fill bourbon casks enhance rather than overshadow this unique house style, contributing layers of vanilla, honey, orchard fruits and gentle oak spice while allowing the distillery's trademark texture and complexity to shine.
 
The nose opens with aromas of ripe pear, waxed lemon, honeyed malt and vanilla, supported by subtle savoury notes. The palate is rich and beautifully textured, revealing orchard fruits, vanilla cream, citrus zest and peppery oak, before finishing with lingering honey, lemon oil and delicate warming spice.
 
A superb example of Craigellachie's distinctive character, this bottling is ideal for those looking to explore one of Speyside's most individual and underrated distilleries.
