Cragganmore Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 17 Year Old · 1976 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold highlights and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Powerful Cragganmore on the nose: ripe orchard fruits, honeyed malt, vanilla and fig weave with a touch of toffee. Rich oak frames a whisper of sherry, while spice and citrus zest brighten the finish. Concentrated, elegant and inviting slow, contemplative nosing.

Palate

Powerful yet refined, the palate reveals a honeyed malt sweetness backed by ripe orchard fruit and citrus zest. Dark fruit mingle with toffee, vanilla and toasted almond, while sherry influences tint the sweetness with spice, cinnamon and clove. Rich oak and a touch of cocoa mingle as the alcohol warms, finishing long, warming, and remarkably balanced.

Finish

Long, warming finish with sherried depth: dark raisin and fig sweetness mingle with cocoa and toasted oak, while a refined spice lingers, concluding in a citrus-y brightness that slowly fades to a clean, elegant echo.
