Production of the 13 Years Old Armagnac Cask Speyside Single Malt from Craigellachie

The production of the 13 Years Old Armagnac Cask Speyside Single Malt begins with the careful selection of high-quality malt. The barley varieties used come from the region and contribute to the unique aromatic profile. After malting, a gentle malt preparation takes place, which highlights the flavour of the malt. During the subsequent fermentation, special yeast strains are used, giving the whisky its fruity nuances.

Distillation takes place in traditional copper pot stills, which ensure a pure and unadulterated spirit. Particularly noteworthy is the maturation process in first-fill Armagnac casks, which give the whisky its characteristic notes and complexity. It is thanks to this long maturation that the 13 Years Old Armagnac Cask Speyside Single Malt acquires its wonderful flavour profile.
