Producer's Tasting Notes

Nose: Fragrant, grassy, herbal, dry and sweet.Waxed wood and polished leather. Burnt sugar, like crème brulée.With water, linseed oil aromas.

Body: Soft, slightly oily, dry.

Palate: Dry; thyme and pepper, also sweet; liquorice and orange blossom. Drinks well at full strength; some acidity, some nuttiness.

Finish: Medium to long, dry, flowery, cleansing. Pleasant nutty aftertaste.

Tasting Notes from Whiskyfun (Serge Valentin)

Nose: very flowery and very fruity, which is incredible considering its age. This one is not for the sherryheads! Lots of tropical fruits: pineapple, guava, tons of light breakfast honey. Extremely fresh! Develops on melon and peach, freshly squeezed oranges… A nectar. Whiffs of white pepper from the wood. What a perfect balance! Hints of peat?

Mouth: stunning attack on fresh fruit salad and white pepper. Bold, rich, yet clean and fresh. Lots of honey, fresh fruits (melon, pear)… Some oaky notes too (tannins, pepper, vanilla, cinnamon). This one really proves that there’s life without some heavy sherry in Speyside. Long, beautifully balanced finish on pollen, and white pepper. An old ‘straight shooter’ that, once again, shows that there isn’t only sherry and/or peat in life. I like it a lot! 90 points

Brand Info:

Cragganmore

Cragganmore Distillery

Cragganmore was founded in Ballindalloch, Speyside, in 1869 and was the first distillery to take advantage of the railway system for transportation, with its own railway siding on the Strathspey route. The distillery was designed by Charles Cree Doig and the stone used came from the local hill 'Craggan Mor' (meaning 'big rock') which gave the new distillery its name.

Cragganmore has a complex fruity, toffeed style, being mostly from refill sherry casks. It has been the Speyside representative in Diageo's Classic Malts range since 1987.
