Cragganmore – Distillers Edition 2022 (70cl, 40%)

Cragganmore Distillers Edition 2022 is a Speyside single malt in a 70cl bottle at 40% ABV. It belongs to the Classic Malts range, in which the Distillers Editions were first introduced in the late 1990s. After its main maturation the whisky has a second period in casks seasoned with port. This brings plenty of cooked dark fruit to the flavour, such as blackberries and cooked cherries. The nose is mellow and complex, sweet, winey and fruity, with a wisp of smoke later on. The palate is firm and lightly oily, with juicy wine and fruit, light wood spice and a smoky undertone. The finish is medium in length, tingling and drying, ending in vanilla and cocoa.
