Cragganmore Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 1978 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with a warm coppery glow and a whisper of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Rich sherry sweetness envelopes the nose, with dried fig, raisin and orange peel, layered over toasted barley and vanilla. Subtle cocoa, almond and toffee notes mingle with polished oak, a hint of spice, and a delicate, whispering smoke that lingers softly.

Palate

Silky and well-rounded, with honeyed malt and orange zest at the core. Sherry-tinged fruit, prune and fig, layer over toasted oak, with a touch of almond sweetness and a delicate spice. Creamy on the mid-palate, finishing long with warm fruit, cacao, and refined oak.

Finish

Long, refined finish of honeyed barley and vanilla, gliding into soft oak with a whisper of orchard fruit. The sweetness fades slowly, leaving a delicate, clean afterglow and subtle spice that lingers gracefully on the palate.
