Cragganmore 12 Year

Year sampled: 2008

Comments: (I cannot locate my tasting notes on this.) This is an admittedly tasty whisky, but thin and lacking in complexity. It is sweet and floral, with a long, disappointing finish. It is more similar to bourbon than any other scotch I've tried, so it might make a good "gateway" drink for bourbon enthusiasts unfamiliar with scotch. I'm skeptical that this should be the Speyside "classic malt," but I have read that it was once much better than it is now.
