Speyside

Original bottlings from the Craigellachie distillery have been available again since 2014. The distillery continues to use traditional worm tubs to cool the distillate. They give the whisky a special Taste. The popular 13-year-old Single Malt is now also available as a small bottle with 0.2 litres.

Cardhu is derived from the Gaelic 'Carn Dubh' and means 'the black rock'. The distillery's bottlings are produced in a relatively long distillation process.

This year's special releases from Diageo are themed 'Elusive Expressions'. Legend has it that one day the ancient black rock beneath Cardhu made a bloodcurdling crack and released a torrent of tropical warmth that created an exotic paradise around the distillery. At midnight, the abyss closed again, but the lively whisky distilled that day remained.

The whisky distillery of the same name is located in the heart of Speyside in Ballindalloch, not far from Tomintoul, the highest village in Scotland.

The 'Longmorn Twins' are the result of a special experiment: In 1961, George Urquhart filled two different sherry casks with Longmorn whisky. More than half a century later, the casks were chosen by the twins and grandsons Stuart and Richard Urquhart for a very special rarity: The oldest Longmorn ever bottled to date. Distilled on the same day, but due to the different types of wood in the casks, the whiskies are like twins only at first glance.
