Description

A 40 year old Craggenmore whisky. Bottled by Gordon & Macphail, as part of their Secret Stills series. Distilled on 21.05.1966, it was then aged in two sherry hogshead casks numbered 1450 & 1451 and bottled in June 2006. A run of just 500 bottles.

Colour: full gold.

Nose:
A true ‘honeyed fruitiness’ as in other Cragganmores is to be found in this oldie that’s incredibly fresh and lively. With tons of honey, Seville oranges, beeswax and this wonderful ‘quinciness’. Superb oakiness and the most delicate spices. Almonds and old furniture. Wonderful old malt!.

Taste:
Roll out the red carpet! Sure there’s some oak (cinnamon) but also some wonderful other spices, star anise and hints of caraway. A little mocha, maybe drops of almonds, argan oil, halva..

Finish:
Medium long but wonderfully orangey, with a lightness that calls for… more! Moreish indeed..

As with all our older bottles, there may be some slight damage to the labels / box.  Please see the pictures.
