Description
The Cragganmore 12 Years Old is a classic Speyside single malt whisky that is known for its finely balanced aroma and complex depth. It comes from the renowned Cragganmore Distillery, which was founded in 1869 by John Smith, one of the most experienced master distillers of his time. The distillery is located in the Speyside region, which is famous for its elegant and aromatic whiskies.
Distillation in small, shallow pot stills is particularly noteworthy, giving the whisky its unmistakable, multi-layered aroma. Maturation in oak casks for 12 years ensures a perfect balance of malty, fruity and slightly smoky notes, which sets Cragganmore apart from other Speyside whiskies.
The stylish gift box (GB) makes this whisky an excellent choice for connoisseurs and collectors of Speyside malts. With its complex yet approachable character, Cragganmore 12 is ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate an elegant, balanced and aromatic single malt. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Golden amber.
Nose: Complex and multi-layered, with notes of honey, malt, dried fruit, almonds, gentle smoke and a hint of vanilla.
Taste: Soft, harmonious, slightly sweet with aromas of caramel, roasted cereals, oranges, spices and a fine wood and smoke backing.
Finish: Medium length, slightly dry, nutty with gentle smoky notes and a hint of oak.
The Cragganmore 12 Years Old unfolds its full aroma best neat or with a few drops of water to bring out the fine nuances even more clearly. Its elegant maltiness makes it an ideal companion for mature cheese, dark chocolate or mildly smoked salmon. (automated translation)

Eine großartige Herausforderung und unglaublich komplex und wandelbar. Nichts für Anfänger, aber ein wahres Erlebnis.

Wer den Ausdruck der Speyside in Verbindung mit höchster Charakterstärke sucht, ist mit diesem bestens bedient. Doch Vorsicht! Ist kein Whisky für den Einsteiger! Komplex, rauchig, wuchtig und recht trocken im Abgang! Perfekter Malt für Fortgeschrittene!
