READ THE STORYDistilled at the Crieff distillery, the whisky matured for more than two decades.
It was initially aged in sherry-seasoned oak before being transferred to the Sauternes casks that had previously held wine from Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey, a Premier Grand Cru Classé of 1855.
The Bordeaux château was founded in 1618. Today it sits under the same Lalique guardianship as The Glenturret.
