TastedSometimes i feel sad about not having tasted before some classic malts, while having a lot of other whiskies. After 678 reviews i finally got to taste Cragganmore 12yo, a Diageo Classic, and the mother single malt of Old Parr, a blended whisky you might not have heard of, which is not that good but it is everywhere in Ecuador and Colombia. This review is for the old Cragganmore 12yo bottle, the one from 2000-2010, at 40%abv and golden color. On the nose, it is fair, your expected speysider. Honey, sawdust. Earthy, oranges, wet recently cut grass; chocolate. Some vanilla, toffee and more honey after having a first sip. On the palate, it follows the same path: honey, vanillq, slight saltiness; another sip revealed sawdust and new wood, like licking a log. Aftertaste is nice, nothing to die for. Peppery, grassy, hay and a dim sulphur note. There is some minor smokiness somewhere almost ghostly. Overall this is a fairly enjoyable dram, nothing too special but not bad. My score for it is a proper 76 over 100. -
