About

Cragganmore 12-year-old whisky is a distinguished single malt from the Speyside region of Scotland. Founded in 1869 by the experienced distiller John Smith, the distillery is renowned for its uniquely designed spirit stills. These stills create a lighter final product by ensuring heavier alcohols do not make it into the whisky, resulting in a complex and refined whisky profile that has captivated whisky writers like Michael Jackson and Dave Broom. Cragganmore 12 offers a rich and layered tasting experience. On the nose, floral notes of heather blend with a fruity mix of apple and pear, complemented by hints of honey and a touch of smoke. The palate is full and creamy, marked by a strong malty flavor with subtle wood smoke. The finish is long and sweet, with a lingering light smokiness. This whisky is excellent on its own but also benefits from a few drops of water to open up the flavors. It is an ideal choice for those who appreciate an elegant and complex single malt.
