Cragganmore Distiller’s Edition 2008

Country: Scotland

Region: Speyside

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 40%

Score: 75 Points

The nose is light and dry with hints of spices and dried fruits. The taste has overly strong white wine notes, along with a citrusy tartness that is sharp and astringent. Those notes continue on the finish, and make it hard to tell whether this is a wine or a whisky.
