THE CRAGGANMORE RANGE

CRAGGANMORE 12 YEAR OLD

Nestling on the banks of the legendary salmon river, Cragganmoreª is, for many, the home of the definitive Speyside malt. Hugely complex, rich with layers of flavour and a whiff of smoke in the finish.

“The most complex nose of any malt whisky.” Michael Jackson, Whisky Writer

CRAGGANMORE DISTILLERS EDITION

Each Distillers Edition expression undergoes a second (or ‘double’) maturation in casks that have previously held a fortified wine.
The complexity of Cragganmore prescribes an out of the ordinary choice for a second cask finish. However, port-wine casks provide the perfectly harmonious partner. Sweet and deeply fruity oak-smoked malt; a long, dry finish.

Sweet (jelly-babies) and malty. Fruitier and juicier than the standard bottling. A hint of smoke.
