Cragganmore 12 year old, 40%,

A perfect dram to pour as an aperitif, this has an attractive nose of heather honey, ground spices, salted lemons, fragrant flowers, and vanilla buttercream. It’s clean and refreshing with honey, lemon zest, shortbread, and light pepper, followed by butter toffee sweetness, poached pear, and a hint of malt. A fudgy, creamy sweetness rolls on into the finish, with flashes of candied lemon.
