Cragganmore Distillers Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Subtle, silky, and intensely aromatic — the Cragganmore Distillers Edition takes the graceful Speyside single malt and gives it a luxurious Port-wine encore. Matured first in refill American and European oak, then finished in seasoned Ruby Port pipes, it balances elegance with quiet depth. At 40% ABV, it’s approachable yet layered. The nose is sweet with heather honey, red currant, and toasted malt. The palate reveals berry compote, dark chocolate, hazelnut, and oak spice, all woven into Cragganmore’s signature floral smoke. The finish lingers long with dried fruit and cocoa, the Port influence shining through in a gentle ruby warmth. Refined, rounded, and quintessentially Speyside with a velvet twist.

Nose: Heather honey, currants, malt biscuit, and a whiff of oak.

Palate: Red berries, hazelnut, chocolate ganache, oak spice and light smoke.

Finish: Long, warming and fruity with lingering Port sweetness and gentle malt.

Pair with duck breast in berry reduction or grilled pork with fig glaze to highlight the Port fruit notes. Dark chocolate truffles or raspberry cheesecake echo the dessert-like finish. For cheese, try aged Brie or nutty Comté to match the malt’s rich creaminess.
