Cragganmore Distillers Edition 2005 Bottled 2018 Single Malt Scotch Whisky | CggD-6570 | 70cl 40% ABV

Elevate your Speyside collection with The Cragganmore Distillers Edition (2005 Vintage, Bottled 2018). Part of Diageo’s iconic annual Classic Malts series, this limited-edition release takes Cragganmore’s complex, layered malt character and elevates it through a meticulous double-maturation process.

Distilled in 2005 and bottled in 2018 under the specific batch code CggD-6570, this exquisite expression spent its final months finishing in hand-selected Ruby Port wine casks. The seasoned port pipes impart a rich, ruby-tinted complexity, perfectly weaving sweet, syrupy dark fruit notes into the distillery’s naturally firm, lightly peated backdrop. Complete with its original green presentation box, it is a highly sophisticated dram for connoisseurs who appreciate perfectly balanced, sherried, and port-finished Scotch.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Incredibly sweet and fruity. Bright notes of ripe strawberries and dark summer berries give way to sweet vanilla fudge, runny honey, and a delicate touch of pipe tobacco smoke.

• Palate: Layered and luxurious. Deep waves of blackberry jam, fruit cake, and warm caramel run alongside rich oak, leather, and a gentle hint of warming winter spices.

• Finish: Long and beautifully dry, transitioning into clean oaky tannins, armchair leather, and a lingering, nutty cocoa note.
