- Description
- Cragganmore's 26-year-old 1995 vintage spent its entire life in a single sherry butt, yielding just 300 cask strength bottles when opened in 2022. Speyside's honeyed fruit character deepens into rich dried figs, dates, and burnt orange, anchored by spice from the oak and subtle smoke. The texture is luscious and layered, with a long, warming finish of leather and dark chocolate. Reserved for those who appreciate mature Speyside complexity at natural strength.
