Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Bright gold, natural colour with no chill-filtration; full body with thick legs
Nose
Oily, malty, and earthy with clean machine oils, dry wood spices, barley husks, tangy brine, and soft earthy peat. Banana, pears, icing sugar, and waxy lemons emerge underneath. A fascinating departure from standard Cragganmore
Palate
More clean machine oils and barley husks with salted lemon, baked salt, black pepper, and earthy dry peat. Orange rind adds brightness. Smooth and well-balanced at cask strength — dried fruits, caramel, and gentle smokiness interplay
Finish
Medium-long with a touch of heat that fades quickly, then drying astringency carried beautifully by the oiliness. The peat lingers as a gentle campfire ember
