- Description
- A 1980s distillery bottling of Cragganmore 12, captured at the moment of its elevation to Diageo's Classic Malts canon. Speyside's signature character of orchard fruits and heather honey emerges alongside toasted oak and a whisper of smoke from the distillery's distinctive stills. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with a clean, warming finish. Perfect for those exploring the refined end of Highland single malts.
