Craigellachie First Fill Chateau Larose-Trintaudon Barrique 9 Years 2015/2024

The Craigellachie from the Cask Masters series of the independent bottler Brave New Spirits matured for 9 years in a rare Chateau Larose-Trintaudon barrique. The wines of Chateau Larose-Trintaudon are considered to be extremely fruity with subtle wood flavours and harmonious tannin components. In the Cask Masters series, a distinction is also made between the Golden Proof, Distiller's Cut and Rare & Exclusive labels. Golden Proof contains single cask bottlings with a focus on first fill casks at low prices, Distiller's Cut focuses on the respective distillery character, while Rare & Exclusive contains limited bottlings from very rare casks. Sometimes the whiskies are bottled at cask strength, sometimes at the strength that best suits the corresponding bottling. Different cask types and pre-seasoning of the casks ensure a broad spectrum of aromas and flavours to bring the consistently high quality of the Single Malts to the fore. The Craigellachie was bottled as a Golden Proof without chill-filtering and without the addition of colour at 48.1% vol.

The Cask Masters series was inspired by Kirigami, a traditional Japanese paper-cutting technique known for its precision and attention to detail. Independent bottler Brave New Spirits uses this concept to symbolise the careful selection process of its 2025 whisky range - from cask selection to bottling.
