Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

well, this has nothing to do with the current makes, it is much greasier, slightly metallic, much more ‘old Highlands’, and rather less sherried. Wonderful notes of crushed chalk, a lot of hay, and a slightly bouillony development, although there would also be more oranges and tangerines. Truly wonderful, pretty much in line with the very first Classic Malts. A wee spoon of strawberry jam as well. Wonderful indeed

restaurant Palate

a wee tad more unlikely at first, with strawberries again and touches of cardboard, but all is going well after just one minute, with some grist, ale, chalk, a touch of candlewax, those oranges, and hints of peat smoke that would come with a little brine as well. In short, a Cragganmore that’s a little coastal, I would say. Body and mouth feel are perfect

timer Finish

rather long, oily, with some bitter oranges and a green spiciness. Some kind of curry. A little iron, salt and some strawberries again in the aftertaste
