Cragganmore Hunter Laing's Old & Rare Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old · 1995 Vintage
In stock
Distilled at Cragganmore in 1995, bottled by Hunter Laing.
Each bottling of Old & Rare has been matured to perfection, so due to the angels’ share there are comparatively few examples to emerge from each cask.
Presented in a highly distinctive squat bottle, each expression comes beautifully packaged in a specially crafted wooden box. The personal tasting notes of our expert “nose” are included to complement the views of each individual taster. It goes without saying that each cask remains unadulterated by excessive filtration or added caramel.
Although each sip from an Old & Rare cask is an exquisite experience the pleasure must be tempered with a little sorrow, due to the fact that such a taste can never be exactly replicated again.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich, deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm, mahogany-tinged edge.
Nose
Delicately perfumed nose of orchard fruit and citrus zest, folded into a satin bed of honeyed malt. Rich sherry whispers bring dried fig, raisin and cocoa, wrapped in warm vanilla and oak. A hint of almond, leather spice and subtle smokiness lingers, inviting slow, contemplative sips.
Palate
Richer than its 30 years, Cragganmore coats the palate with velvety depth: fig, raisin and orange zest mingle with cacao and dark chocolate, tempered by honeyed sweetness. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—rise over polished oak. A long, warming finish of sherried fruit, gentle smoke and leather lingers, leaving a contemplative sweetness.
Finish
Long, elegant finish. Honeyed fruit unfurls into smooth waxy richness, then opens to toasted oak and gentle spice. Dried fruit and cocoa notes linger, leaving a warm, complex glow that slowly fades.
