Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright golden amber with honeyed warmth and a subtle coppery edge.
Nose
Delicate, honeyed aromas unfold with pear and apple fruit, toasty malt and a whisper of vanilla. Floral, waxy notes lift over faint citrus zest, balanced by a soft, timbered backbone that hints at age.
Palate
Silky and refined, this Cragganmore unfurls honeyed malt with sherry-rich depth. Raisin and fig sweetness intertwine with orange zest, toffee and a kiss of spice, while soft oak provides quiet backbone. The mid-palate broadens to cocoa and leather, finishing warm and elegant with a fleeting whisper of smoke.
Finish
An expansive, warming finish that lingers with sherry-soaked fruit, orange zest, and roasted almond, threaded by cocoa and gentle spice. Velvet oak wraps the palate, fading to a delicate, honeyed sweetness that persists long after the last sip.
