- Selected by John Milroy: Chosen by the respected co-founder of the original London whisky specialist Milroy’s.

Bold, Spicy and Full of Energy
This Craigellachie bottling is made for those who prefer their whisky with a little extra edge. The young Speyside spirit brings a lively, spicy style, while the full-proof presentation gives it weight and impact. At this strength, a small measure can go a long way, making the 70cl bottle a practical addition to a home bar or whisky shelf.
Enjoy it neat to experience its direct, high-strength character, or add a few drops of water to open the whisky and soften the intensity. Water can also make it easier to explore the flavours gradually, helping you find the balance that suits your taste. For a relaxed serve, pour a smaller measure and take your time; this is a whisky that rewards attention rather than rushing.
A Smart Choice for Whisky Fans and Gift Buyers
The Frisky Whisky connection gives this bottle added interest. John Milroy was a co-founder of Milroy’s, the original London whisky specialist, and his selection brings a sense of independent expertise to the release. That makes this Craigellachie an appealing option for collectors, adventurous drinkers and anyone seeking something beyond a familiar supermarket bottle.
It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys exploring cask-strength whisky. The combination of a named distillery, a 2002 distillation date, an 8-year age statement and a 2010 bottling date gives the bottle a clear story to share. Its strength and independent selection add further character without requiring the price often associated with older or heavily marketed releases.
