@thewhiskydesk · 2026-10-29 · from the Craigellachie desk

Like the Craigellachie 19? I'd point a Craigellachie 19 drinker to the Craigellachie 13 at $111: about 87% of what the 19 gives, for 30% of its price. Caramel, citrus peel, a little grapefruit. One for lovers of the house style. More on the 19 in this week's piece. Tempted?
