Cragganmore The Friends Of The Classic Malts Whisky 14 Year Old

Colour

Rich amber with coppery glints and a touch of mahogany.

Nose

Opens with a bright orchard-fruit sweetness—apple and pear—lifted by wisps of honey and vanilla. The sherry cask influence draws in dried fig and raisin, a touch of dark chocolate, and a subtle almond-nut nuance, while soft malt and oak provide a warm, elegant backbone.

Palate

Silky and refined, the palate reveals honeyed malt, ripe orchard fruit and citrus zest, supported by gentle vanilla. Sherry-cask maturation adds dark fruit, cocoa and spice, woven through a polished oak frame. Medium-bodied with a creamy texture, it finishes long and elegant, with malt sweetness and a whisper of nut.

Finish

Long, refined finish of toasted malt and honey, unfolding into dried fruit and cocoa; sherry sweetness cushions supple oak, with a faint ember of spice and a lingering, soft smoke that fades to elegant warmth.
