Cragganmore Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 12 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden amber with coppery hues, a warm, sunlit honey glow.

Nose

Sweet honeyed barley opens with sun-warmed orchard fruits and delicate malt. Rich sherry notes—raisins, fig, cocoa—and spice weave through the aroma, with a bright kiss of orange zest. A subtle wisp of oak and smoke lingers, lending warmth and refined depth.

Palate

Powerful and lush, this Cragganmore coats the palate with a waxy, full-bodied richness. Sherry-dusted fruit dominates: fig, raisin, dried orange, and dark berries folded into toffee, honey and almond. Spices rise—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—over a subtle oak backbone. Thick, warming and mouth-coating, the finish lingers with more dried fruit, cocoa, and a gentle, resinous warmth.

Finish

Long and warming, this finish radiates honeyed malt and vanilla over a touch of oak, then opens into dried fruit and spice with a faint Sherry lift, finishing with cocoa-touched warmth that lingers.
