Let me start by saying that an incomprehensible typo can be found on the label. The whisky is called Craggenmore instead of Cragganmore. Oh, well. This is, by the way, only the second Cragganmore that Malts of Scotland has released. This one is 15 years old and will cost you about 70 EUR.

The nose is very clean on sweet malt and a basket of citrus fruit. Lemon pie, I would say. Some grasses as well as other floral touches that makes is rather fresh. Some butter cake with almonds, but also something mineral. Flints, maybe, but all the way in the background. This is nice.

Creamy mouth coating and pretty spicy arrival. Vanilla, caramel, candy floss… and then the fruit explodes. Oranges, lime, apples and pears, upholstered with some pineapple cubes. Gooseberries? Touch of anise too. Midpalate it turns a tad bitter. Reminds me of tonic. And green tea. This is nice.

The long finish ends by leaving the mouth completely dry. This is nice.

Did I already tell you that this is nice? Lovely Cragganmore.
