94 Points Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
"The secret of Cragganmore is the subtle way the malt and spices intertwangle without anyone really noticing, or able to pick which of the two strands is the thickest. Here, the almost secrtet subtlety of the nose has been compromised for maximum effect on the palate. It was probably a chance worth taking, as the full on display of the tannins is something that lives long on the taste buds.. and memory."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery, honeyed highlights.
Nose
Delicate, secretive bouquet where malt and spice entwine with quiet elegance. Vanilla and gentle oak frame a whisper of citrus and honey, with almonds and a mineral lift hinting at Cragganmore’s refined balance. Subtle, persistent, inviting, it teases complexity to come and lingers with quiet grace.
Palate
On the palate, malt and spices intertwine with poised, tactile elegance, yielding a pronounced tannic spine. The tannins unfold across the tongue in a long, memory-tingling finish that speaks of Cragganmore’s rare, 25-year quiet intensity.
Finish
Long, stately finish with refined tannins that linger on the palate. American oak and sherry-tinged spice weave through dried fruit, orange zest and almond, fading to a warm malt sweetness. The memory endures, a creamy, elegant echo that warms and invites another sip.
