A sherried 12 year old single malt from Diageo's Classic Malts range, this bottling from the Cragganmore distillery represents Speyside and proffers a rich, slightly floral whisky with barley notes.
Aromatic, floral. Heather, fruit salad, creamy texture. Smoked almonds, stemmy hay.
Rich, honey, stone fruits, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds. Berries.
Smoky, good length, delicate peppery spice.
I have bought quite a few scotches Pricewise and I've been searching Scotch quite a few years I must say this is one of the best I've tasted for less than $100 I would definitely recommend .
I agree with consensus that this is a fine standard Speyside without much complexity or style apart from its fabulous nose. Diagio ought to cut the chill-filtering and bump up the ABV to 45%, then they could have a real winner here.
Самый лучший виски, что пробовал. Супер.
So I've always been drawn towards peaty Islay malts, with Ardbeg and Lagavulin on top. A friend treated me to a dram of this, and I realised instantly that there is a beautiful world outside of Islay. This malt is sweet, elegant and highly drinkable, whoever you are, I suppose.
my favourite..this is the chosen one for me
