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.
...and pleasant to the palate and nose.a decent,smooth , lasting finish as well...too easy to drink and I better not get too attached to it or I might become an alcoholic.agree with the other post, this is definitely not sherried.
This whisky is not sherried... Diageo say if you email them that its first fill bourbon!
I will try to express my opinions without using one and same word "experienced" whiskey lovers. Aroma: The first attempt - a pleasant, sweet smell of sugar ... if divide the whole range of flavors in parts - I do not know what it looks like, but I do not feel nuts, no milk chocolate, there is no floral scent like in Glenlivet 12. After a drop of water and a couple of minutes, clearly felt in the flavor of something fresh, something similar to an apple and that's all. The main flavor - something pleasant and sugar. Taste: Exactly the same as the smell. Drunk very easy and pleasant. Unfortunately I could not feel anything in the taste of the familiar. Best suited word - spices. Finish: too pleased, long, felt the heat and after the third sip unobtrusive taste of bread. The general impression in comparison with Glenlivet 12 - perfect.
Еще один из 6-ки Классик Молт. Очень хороший и яркий представитель региона. Вкус и запах: миндаль, пряности, ваниль и корица. Приятный согревающий виски. (Translation using Google Translate: Another one of the 6s Classic Malt. Very nice and bright representative of the region. Taste and smell: almonds, spices, vanilla and cinnamon. Pleasant warming whiskey.)
It's a fine, but rather pedestrian dram. It's lacking that zip and sparkle that really makes you sit up and take notice. Not what I'd spend thirty-one of my pounds on. Don't get me wrong, I'd recommend buying a bottle if it's on special offer, but I'd say you could get quite a few far more exciting single malts for the same price.
