Product description
The Premier Barrel Selection series debuted in 2008 from Douglas Laing & Co.
It consists exclusively of single cask whiskies bottled in their natural colour and without chill filtration. They are presented in old-fashioned stoneware decanters, always accompanied by a short stanza referring to the specific whisky and expressed using alliteration. In 2018, the company slightly changed the labels, assigning their colour to individual whisky production regions. The Craigellachie presented here was aged for 8 years and bottled in 2022 in an edition of 434 bottles. All whiskies in the Premier Barrel series are bottled in their natural colour and without chill filtration.
