Advantages: Not to expensive, nice flavors

Disadvantages: Just missing a little something

An elegant, sophisticated Speyside with the most complex aroma of any malt. Fragrant with sweetish notes and a smoky maltiness on the finish.

Am not usually a big fan of Speyside Whisky. And have to say this one does not really quite do it for me!

Colour: Light amber, honey gold.

Taste: Flowers with vanilla and herbs. Old woody, mildly peaty, very mildly! Hints of salt and honey in there too. Maybe a little wood smoke in there only get that some times.

Overall not a bad whisky, and if your a fan of the Speyside Whisky's I see no reason why you would not be a fan of this one. This would be a nice one to introduce new whiskey drinkers to, a bit thin for my taste personnally.

Price not to bad. You can usally pick up a bottle for £25. This is quite a well known whisky and sometimes you can get it on offer for closer to £20. Value isnt to bad, its not a bad whisky and is not to expensive, so decent value.

Other versions of Cragganmore you might fance trying are: 10 year old Cask strenth, this is 60% abv so quite a strong one! Also the 1991 distillers edition is worth a try.

Overall a reasonable whisky, give it a try and see what you think!

Summary: If you like speyside this one could be for you
