Cragganmore Distillers Edition 2020, a 12-year-old single malt whisky from the Diageo Classic Malts Range, is double-matured in Port cask wood. This choice of wood expertly balances succulence and depth with the signature malty, smoky flavours and finesse of Cragganmore. Distilled in 2008 and bottled in 2020, this expression boasts a deep-fruited sweetness with a rich complexity, culminating in a drying oak-smoked finish.
Available in a 700ml bottle at 40% abv.
TASTING NOTES
APPEARANCE
Warm Gold
NOSE
Sweet (jelly beans), malty. Fruitier, juicier than the regular bottling. A hint of smoke.
TASTE
Firm, sweet, with smoky undertones and fruitiness. Malt, oak, and smoke at the base. Intriguingly two-tiered.
FINISH
Medium to long with fine, oaky expressions, from bananas and vanilla to cocoa. Much drier than it began.
