A classic Speyside whisky from this often overlooked distillery. Cragganmore is a wonderful introduction to Scottish Single Malt whisky, with its refill Bourbon cask maturation ensuring the natural flavours of the spirit take centre stage. Cragganmore is known for its luscious juice, and this dram serves up flavours of rich malt, vanilla and flowers – the hallmarks of the region.

Details
Cragganmore is one of those rare whiskies that possess terrific complexity at every age, which is the reason it is so beloved by whisky blenders.
This depth of flavour comes from a unique still set-up unlike anything found in Scotland. At Cragganmore, the wash stills (which perform the initial distillation) run into worm tub condensers - which are known for producing a thick, muscular spirit. The whisky is then distilled again in small, flat-topped spirit stills which also run into worm tubs, with the final product a powerful, weighty and fragrant new make. The use of very lightly peated malt also adds another layer of flavour.
Cragganmore is owned by Diageo, and such is the importance of the distillery to their blends (particularly the Johnnie Walker Black and Green Labels), this 12 year old expression is the only “official bottling” of single malt regularly available.
Good thing it’s absolutely delicious!

Tasting notes
Nose
Beautiful and rich, with sweet, floral aromas emerging from the glass. Deep honey, vanilla, dried herbs and fresh, grassy malt. There’s a faint toasted almond note, adding complexity.
Taste
The softest touch of sweet peat introduces an earthy, mouth-coating malt, accompanied by flavours of toasted hazelnut and almond, light oak, sandalwood, peaches and fresh red berries.
Finish
Rather long and satisfying – notes of peppery spice, elegant peat smoke and malty biscuits linger.

How's your whisky game?
I know a thing or two
Normally not a Speyside fan, but...
The lightness of this appealed to me. While there was a definite smoke to it, the tannic earthiness that I usually associate with a peated whisky wasn't there, allowing me to enjoy the more delicate background notes, including hints of bourbon from the cask. Breaking the surface with a drop of water brought all the citrus fruitiness to the fore and relegated the smoke to a lingering finish that complemented the top and mid notes nicely.

Relaxing
I liked the sweet smell and the taste, how it goes from being a nice sweet introduction to the pallet and ends in a nice warm feeling
