Bought a mix pack of Cragganmore, Talisker and Lagavulin and conducted a little tasting at Thanksgiving. The participants were familiar with Scotch and preferred heavily plated and smoky Island. To a person we all loved Cragganmore. It’s fruity and subtlety almondy. After years of drinking the other style it’s become a favorite of mine.
Remarkably drinkable
An excellent, well balanced single malt, my preferred tipple. The only problem is that it doesn't last long !!!! ???
One of my favourite speysides. Very smooth
A friend, knowing I’m a fan of good Scotch, brought along a 200ml of Cragganmore 12 on a five day canoe-camping trip in the boundary waters of New Brunswick/Maine. It stayed in the cooler ‘til the last night and he said “Have at it if you like, I might have some too.” I tried a bit with water and wasn’t impressed at all, then snuck a nip right from the bottle after he said he didn’t want any. I told him “I’m liable to drink it all, then!” “That’s why I brought it!” he said. I kept nipping at it now and then when walking by the table and loved the almondy, honey smoothness of it that crept through the smooth burn while I kept it in my mouth before letting it slide down. I ended up polishing off the small bottle after a bit, walking the root-bound shore and watching the nearly full moon along the St Croix. With its natural tastes emerging through a nice smooth burn, it seemed just the right Scotch for being outdoors for days on a wilderness adventure. I’d gladly buy a larger bottle to see how I like it in other environments. Recommended if you like to try new tastes and are open-minded.
