Deer, Bear & Moose Craigellachie 2006
Our latest find has been patiently groomed for 12 years to be enjoyed by you worldwide. Usually, a Scotch of such class would be kept hidden in a dark cellar for another decade or two then sold for an insane amount of dinero to someone who'd likely use it for bragging rights only. Well, not today. And not this Scotch.
Craigellachie 12 YO is a Whisky that deserves to be tasted and shared. Another great Scottish Malt well deserving of the Deer, Bear & Moose seal of approval. Sure, the name is a mouthful, but so is this Whisky. Sherry-tinged, non-chill filtered, straight from the cask, and if the gods grin your way, soon to swirl in your glass.
Craigellachie. Hard to spell but easy to remember. This Scotch is a Moose(t)!

Single malt stands for around 10% of the Scotch market. This is a malt containing only one grain, legally required to be barley in Scotland, and made at a single distillery.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.
A blended Scotch is a combination of different malts from different distilleries. It is typically made from grain Whisky but does include malt Whisky to give it a more complex body.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Craigellachie is about 1500 feet away from Speyside Cooperage -- the most productive independent Whisky cask maker in Scotland. They turn out more than 100,000 casks per year to the local Speyside producers.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
