Sweet, smooth, fruity, lightish of smokey taste, wood spice and wine, port with vanilla and cocoa. A great winters malt to enjoy by the roaring fire perhaps with a slice of Christmas cake.
About this bottle
The Distillers Edition Collection from Diageo is an limited annual release of single malt Scotch whiskies. Each of the whiskies are double-matured in a cask seasoned with a different fortified wine selected to compliment the mature whisky. These finishing casks are made with heavily-charred new wood cask ends and recharred American oak casks which are then seasoned with the fortified wine for a month. Then the mature whisky is recasked into the seasoned casks for up to six months. For the Cragganmore Distillers Edition, the mature whisky is Cragganmore 12 year and the fortified wine is port wine. Available in the US as of April 2023. (SRP $85)
