Cragganmore 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

Cragganmore 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky has has succulent aroma with aeration in the sweet forms of barley, cream, light caramel, and tropical fruit. Palate entry is round, borderline plump, breakfast-cereal sweet, and honeyed; midpalate, a slightly oily peat smoke. Sweetly concludes with focus on malt. This oft-overlooked Speysider has been frustratingly variable in the past, but now seems to have hit greater consistency. Worm tubs and weird stills combine to give a complex malt, but one that needs help from oak to blossom fully. There are hedgerow aromas: black currant leaf, hawthorn berries, and lots of honey. A chestnut note continues on the tongue where, on the finish, a hint of smoke lurks.
