Cragganmore 12 Year Single Malt 750ml

“Barley is naturally a major crop, and the presence of Scotland’s fastest flowing river – together with peat from the uplands to the south – was the reason original Cragganmore owner ‘Big’ John Smith felt that it would be the perfect place for the perfect distillery. And who could argue with his genius? Successive managers of Cragganmore have strived to continue his vision to deliver the sweetest, most complex malt whiskies: fruity, honeyed notes are often found. And many a taster of has talked lyrically of fruitcake and toffee flavours. “”One of Speyside’s greats. Elegant and austere. Gradually, almost reluctantly, reveals itself. The most fragrant of whiskies: delicate, herbal, flowery. A palate blossoming with flavours, and a long, lingering, finish.”” Michael Jackson, whisky writer and expert. Nestling on the banks of the legendary salmon river, Cragganmore is, for many, the home of the definitive Speyside malt. Strength: 40% ABV Appearance: Gold. Nose: A complex of sweet floral fragrances, riverside herbs and flowers with some honey and vanilla. ‘The most complex nose of any malt whisky’ (Jackson). Body: Firm, rounded, light to medium.
