Cragganmore, Prima & Ultima Third Release, 48 Year Old, 1973

With complex aromas that include almond oil, this Cragganmore comes from the oldest American oak hogsheads we have, filled soon after the coal-heated stills turned to steam. This milestone in distilling gave birth to a new age in which craft and vision could walk hand in hand. A pathfinder for the smooth whiskies of the modern-day, the nose is more complex than usual with a palate that is sweet but pleasantly tart.
