1980s Cragganmore 12 Year Old Speyside

Colour: Gold

Nose: Honey, smoke, new leather and wonderful floral notes (and pollen plus nectar).

Mouth: Excellent, very honeyed, spicy and even meaty, really full-bodied. Reminds me of the best meads. Notes of cappuccino and quinces. Yes, a drop of quince eau-de-vie in a good coffee.

Finish: Fairly long. Honey, coffee, orange liqueur and liquorice.
