Cragganmore Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 1999 Vintage

Colour

Rich burnished amber with copper-gold highlights and a whisper of mahogany.

Nose

Sherry-draped nose with dark plum and raisin fruit, orange zest, fig, and burnt sugar. Beneath, polished oak, almond paste, and honeyed barley lend liqueur-like sweetness. Spice rises—cinnamon, clove—alongside cocoa nib and a whisper of tobacco. A touch of maritime breeze and subtle smoke add depth, shaping a refined, luxurious Cragganmore aroma.

Palate

Full-bodied and luxurious, the palate opens with dark fruit—fig, raisin, and orange zest—woven through honeyed malt and almond biscuit. Sherry influence brings cocoa, spice, and a touch of leather across the mid-palate, while 54.5% ABV delivers a warm, long finish with toasted wood and a whisper of smoke. Elegant, substantial Cragganmore that coats the tongue with depth and refinement.

Finish

Long and warming, the finish unfurls with sherried fig and raisin, braided with dark chocolate, toasted oak and cinnamon. A ripe malt sweetness lingers, tapering into a refined, lingering fade that coats the palate with elegant warmth.
