Cragganmore 20 Year Old (Special Release 2020)
A 20 year old Cragganmore here, released as part of Diageo's always anticipated Special Releases. For the 2020 Special Releases, a wonderfully laid-back Cragganmore has been selected, matured in a combo of refill casks and new fresh-charred casks. Expect plenty of vanilla and pear, along with a few flashes of pecan and buttered toast.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
This opens with an array of fruity top notes, especially pear, yellow melon, and unripe banana. A toasty woody note adds complexity, coupled with old leather and orange oil furniture polish. Add a splash of water and it turns darker and a little more savoury.
Palate
Cream soda notes, deepened by walnut, multigrain toast and peppery vanilla pods. Those orchard fruits do waft through, but this is a more savoury dram than you might expect. It's got a medium body and feels slightly drying.
Finish
Long, and sweet-chilli led, punctuated by more of those orchard fruits.
Overall
An elegant, intentional dram that develops richer, woodier and more savoury elements in the glass.
