Description

A hidden gem in Diageo's crown, Cragganmore is one of the original "Classic Malts". While it isn't seen as a single malt as often as some of its contemporaries, with the majority of production going to blends, its full-bodied, meaty complexity has won it a dedicated fan base. This 1989 vintage was bottled in 2010 as a 21-year-old expression, part of Diageo's highly anticipated Special Releases series. It was matured in refill American oak casks and released at a cask strength of 56.0% ABV, with an outturn of 5,856 bottles.

Nose
A mix of fruity and creamy notes, including vanilla custard, lemon curd, green apples, vanilla pods, caramel chews, and toasted coconut-coated marshmallows. Some hay, ocean water, and old bowling shoes are also noted.
Palate
Tart oranges, coal smoke, malt, and a hint of soil. It presents with a chewy mouthfeel, white pepper heat, golden raisin sweetness, dried apple rings, candied ginger, and lemon zest. With water, more active fruity notes like lemon zest, lemon rinds, and a bit of candied ginger and pepper emerge.
Finish
Medium in length, with citrus turning sweeter, bits of earth and tannin, woody (balsa) and vanilla notes, fruity honey, and a lingering heat and tingle.
