Enquire

This Cragganmore comes from the very last cask made at the distillery on coal-fired stills, before the switch to oil-fired steam heating in 1972. It’s a remarkable piece of history from a single first fill ex-Sherry butt, and a bottling that can never be repeated. Matured for almost half a century, the whisky is unusually dark in colour. The nose is rich in sherry top notes, with treacle toffee, prunes in syrup, raisins, and espresso coffee. The flavours run deep, with hints of tarred ropes, dark chocolate and wine-soaked fruits.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Brown Sherry.

Body

Full Bodied.

Nose

The nose is rich in sherry top notes, with treacle toffee, prunes in syrup, raisins, and espresso coffee.

Palate

The taste is thick and oily in texture, rich, sweet and complex with tarred ropes, hessian sacks, dark chocolate, wine-soaked fruit then a controlled, wood-spiced and peppery mid-palate.

Finish

The finish is long fresh and drying, with a lingering hint of leather-bound books.
