Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow
Candies, notes of apple pie, leather as well as a touch of oak with a hint of peat, smoke and ashy flavours.
Supple and at the same time rich, with sweet, salty and smoky accents.
Long lasting, voluptuous, smoky and extremely aromatic.
Cragganmore is home to one of the most complex and prestigious malt whiskies, the distillery was founded by John Smith in 1869. Its pleasant aromas are among the most complex to be found among single malts, and they are as mysterious and elusive as the barn owl that stalks its prey in the Speyside Glens woods in the evening.
