There isn't much to say about Craigellachie (pronounced: kray-GELL-ak-ee). A pleasant malt whisky made at a pleasant distillery in a very pleasant spot in the heart of Speyside. Overshadowed on the tourist trail by its neighbour Macallan and even its namesake hotel The Craigellachie Hotel, it seems that it is one of those distilleries that has always been content to chug along quietly in modest obscurity.

Although an ideal blenders malt it is also a fine example of a lighter Speyside whisky, one that would surely have a few more fans if it was better known.
