After a few days of recovering, curing hangovers and taking stock of which whisky we have left, we are back with our new whisky of the week. The festival was an amazing experience, with each of our events being fun and informative.

One of the best things about the Spirit of Speyside is the distillery bottlings that come from it, and with that, I introduce Craigellachie 11 year old Spirit of Speyside Exceptional Cask. This whisky has been aged for 11 years in an Oloroso sherry barrel, which explains its amazing colour.

This whisky is rich and spicy with a nut character to it. It sits at 61.8%, so not a whisky for the faint of heart, but if you can deal with the high alcohol, you are in for a really big sherry treat.
