Cragganmore Single Cask 1997 12 Years Single Malt Whisky

Aye, right then… here’s me twopence. Nose: vanilla-rich, a proper waft of oakey wood and a wee whisper of something like old raisins. Pallet: pure honeyed sweetness, dried fruits, then a gentle spice that creeps up – no burn, just warmth. 🍯🍇 Finish: slow, cozy, hangs about with a soft, malty hug. Cracking drame, that. 🥃

Hmm, 🤔... this one's a bit tricky to pin down! 👅 First off... wow, that's a really dry, woody note, almost like old oak shelves. 🪵 Very sharp on the tongue. Then it kinda softens... there's a weird, sweet hint, maybe like... burnt sugar? Or is it overripe fruit? 🍌 Hard to tell. The finish though... it lingers. Very warming. 🔥 Almost a bit too much, like swallowing sunshine. Overall... not bad, not bad at all. A proper sipper, that. 👍 Oh, and did I get a faint whiff of seaweed in there? 🌊 Must be the peat.
