Cragganmore 15 Year Old 1999 Malts of Scotland

Let me start by saying that an incomprehensible typo can be found on the label. The whisky is called Craggenmore instead of Cragganmore. Oh, well.

The nose is very clean on sweet malt and a basket of citrus...

Cask 1509 yielded 150 bottles for the festival, so I presume it was only part of the cask. Anyway, this 12 Year Old Cragganmore has a nice healthy golden color. The nose is surprisingly sour with quite a few citrus aromas: oranges,...
