Description
The Cragganmore entry in Diageo’s Distillers Edition series is one of the more unusual – it is finished in port pipes for extra sweetness and fruity depth. This is the 2005 vintage, bottled in 2017.
Cragganmore was founded in Ballindalloch, Speyside, in 1869 and was the first distillery to take advantage of the railway system for transportation, with its own railway siding on the Strathspey route. The distillery was designed by Charles Cree Doig and the stone used came from the local hill ‘Craggan Mor’ (meaning ‘big rock’) which gave the new distillery its name.
The 1193 distillers edition is a double-matured Cragganmore finished in port wood pipes for extra complexity and depth. Highly unusual and extremely pleasant drinking whisky.
Tasting Note
Nose: With syrupy dark fruit, cured ham and granary toast there’s a dash of winter spices and oily walnuts.
Palate: A gorgeously balanced concoction of blackberry jam, iron-rich meat, firewood, fruit cake and nutty oak are eventually joined by more of those winter spices.
Finish: Fizzy oaky tannins and armchair leather simmer in a dry finish.
