Infrequent FlyersCraigellachie

This is an 18-year-old single malt whisky from Craigellachie, bottled by the independent label Infrequent Flyers as a single cask at natural cask strength. It was matured in a Bordeaux barrique, a style of wine cask that can add extra layers of fruit and oak to the spirit.

For a novice drinker, expect a full-strength whisky with a robust, concentrated character. The wine cask influence may bring a richer, red-fruited profile alongside the distillery's naturally weighty style, so a small splash of water can help open it up.
