Bas-Armagnac finish
This is a 13-year-old single malt from Craigellachie Distillery in Speyside, bottled at 46% ABV. It is non-chill filtered and of natural colour. The whisky spent about twelve years maturing in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, then just over a year more in Bas-Armagnac casks from Gascony in southern France. The nose offers baked apple, orange peel and pear drop with vanilla custard, and dried fig as it opens. The palate is medium-bodied, with caramel shortbread, malted barley, orchard fruit, ginger, cinnamon and a touch of pineapple. The finish is long, with toasted oak, honeyed malt, liquorice and a chalky mineral note.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
