Product Description

A fully matured and sophisticated Speyside Malt, this cool, calm 21 year old 1989 natural cask-strength Cragganmore comes from American Oak refill casks. The first bottling at this age ever undertaken by the distillers, it makes a smooth companion to earlier special releases of a complex 29 year old, also from American Oak, and a spicy 17 year old. Bright amber, with a mellow, nutty nose of marzipan and apple and pear fruit, then more herbal notes. Adding water raises fragrant scents, while the marzipan yeilds to waxy fruit. Smooth, sweet and cooling, with liquorice root and cinnamon. A warming finish, with gingery spices: with water, drying and herbal. Rich-bodied and creamy, this Cragganmore elegantly combines fragrant fruity notes with a complex of smooth, sweet flavors to make a whiskey worthy of long contemplation. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

What critics and judges wrote

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
There's a little musty nose at first, but once that blows off you find lots of fruity notes such as apple and peach. The palate continues with more fruit in the form of a lemon custard tart.

Whisky Advocate · Dave Broom · 2011
The palate picks things up a little, showing ferns, wet moss, Oolong tea, and dried apple … It's all rather understated, however. … this is slightly underwhelming.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
