Cragganmore Special Release 2016 Whisky - 70cl 55.7%

This is the sixth Cragganmore distillery Diageo Special Release 2016 and the third that is flavour-led.

It blends liquid from three cask types; ex-bodega European Oak butts and refill and rejuvenated American Oak hogsheads, all chosen sheerly for flavour.

Only a limited amount of 4,932 bottles are available of this whisky worldwide.

Nose: Beautifully structured and contemplative with a soft sweet nose.

Palate: Exploring the typical Cragganmore character, the palae is compellingly intense, evantually drying out revealing oak and malt

Finish: A long and warming finish, typical of Cragganmore.

‘The nose is excellent from the start onwards. Can also use a bit of water, which also benefits the finish a lot I found.’
