This bottling of a 9-year-old Craigellachie single malt called Baraill Ur was produced by the independent bottler Brothers in Malt. The whisky was distilled in 2006, matured in an ex-bourbon barrel and was bottled in 2016 with 272 individually numbered bottles.
Craigellachie is a distillery in Craigellachie, Moray, Scotland, which was built by the Craigellachie-Glenlivet Distillery Company from 1891. From 1898, production included the White Horse blend. After several changes of ownership, the distillery now belongs to Bacardi.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
