Renowned whisky writer Michael Jackson held Cragganmore in high regard, while it is mostly overlooked by malt aficionados. Fresh, citric and quite assertive, the aroma features a wide range of flavors. Lime, melon and litchi give way to heather honey, thyme and lavender. Tastewise, crisp and sour notes turn slightly bitter and herbal as the palate progresses, flanked by ginger, white pepper and a touch of banana. Grapefruit, green tea and walnuts fade in the short finish. It's not my favorite classic malt, but it has something to offer if given the chance.

Color: quite natural gold (even though, it's not natural)
Nose: Sherry, vanilla, raisins, new wood, leather, prunes. Reminds me Aberlour Double Cask 12 yo a little bit… but in this case, I feel a bit of smokiness, which surprises me. The aroma is beautiful 23/25
Palate: Leather, chocolate, butterscotch, Sherry, coffee, a pinch of smoke. Very subtle, typical Speysider. 22/25
Finish: bitter chocolate, semi-dry wine, yeasty, a little short, watery and slightly metallic 20/25
Balance: Sensational! Nose and the Palate are great, but the finish is a bit disappointing. However, it's the first time I met a Speyside Whisky with a little shadow of a peatiness. Very, very interesting. 23/25
I had a great expectations about this Whisky. I am not disappointed. I’m looking forward to trying other Speyside Whiskies. I fully recommend
Overall 88/100
...............Deutsch...............
Farbe: eher natürliches Gold (obwohl es nicht natürlich ist)
Nase: Sherry, Vanille, Rosinen, neues Holz, Leder, getrocknete Pflaumen. Er erinnert mir Aberlour Double Cask 12 Jahre alt... aber in diesem Fall merkt man ein bisschen Rauch, was mich überrascht. Das Aroma ist sehr schön 23/25
Körper: Leder, Schokolade, Karamell-Sahnesoße, Sherry, Kaffee, eine Prise Rauch. Sehr subtiler, typischer Speysider. 22/25
Finish: Bitterschokolade, halbtrockener Wein, Hefe, ein bisschen zu kurz, wässrig und leicht metallisch 20/25
Balance: Sensationell! Nase und Gaumen sind großartig, aber das Finish ist etwas enttäuschend. Es ist jedoch das erste Mal, dass ich einen Speyside Whisky mit einem kleinen Schatten einer Torfigkeit getroffen habe. Sehr, sehr interessant. 23/25
Ich hatte große Erwartungen an diesen Whisky. Ich bin nicht enttäuscht. Ich freue mich darauf, andere Speyside Whiskys zu probieren. Ich empfehle völlig
