This whisky was distilled at Craigellachie in 2009, matured in a refill bourbon barrel (Cask # 4871) and bottled on 13 March 2024 by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail (Elgin SCOTLAND). This is one of only 61 bottles, bottled for the Spirit of Speyside Festival; and it is available only at the the Gordon & MacPhail store in Elgin. Thank you Holly Seidewand (First Fill Spirits, Saratoga Springs NY USA) and Russell (Gordon & MacPhail) for the opportunity to taste it.
