Cragganmore's Distillers Edition series welcomes another delicious vintage! This 2005 vintage was finished in Port pipes for greater clarity and depth in its fruity, sweet notes. Bottled in 2017 at a smooth 40% ABV, there's plenty of room for those flavours to breathe, making this beauty well worth a try...
With syrupy dark fruit, cured ham and granary toast there's a dash of winter spices and oily walnuts.
A gorgeously balanced concoction of blackberry jam, iron-rich meat, firewood, fruit cake and nutty oak are eventually joined by more of those winter spices.
Fizzy oaky tannins and armchair leather simmer in a dry finish.
Subtle smoke with cooked fruits on the nose, creamy & rich mouthfeel and a generous adult sweet finish. Speyside with a difference ?
With a splash of water..lovely fruit notes from the Port wood combine on the nose with the vanilla tannins.. to hint at fruits of the forest ice cream desert.. Fruit syrup is joined by mulled spices to combine as a luxurious chocolate liqueur on the palette. Smooth lingering finish with a little depth of toffee apple and waft of cigar smoke.
Terrible. Seriously, what makes them think it is worth that much???
