Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

starts well in the style of the 'regular Cragganmore 12, on an orange cake that just came out of the oven, or is it Mirabelle pie? Also whiffs of patchouli and dandelions, honey and then more cake and a little caramel. Also hints of roots, leaves… It's all relatively light so far, but balanced and quite complex

restaurant Palate

it's true that 40% vol. can be a little weakish by today's standards, and this one isn't big. Having said that, its notes of roasted nuts, toasted cake and malted barley are most pleasant. There's also a little chocolate, ginger and honeydew. As I said, it's light but well balanced

timer Finish

a little short but the salty touches are amusing. Quite some liquorice as well, a little mint, green tea… Dired figs in the aftertaste
