Cragganmore 30Yr 1986-2016 #1491 (Adelphi)

Cragganmore 30 Year Old 1986–2016 – Cask #1491 by Adelphi is a beautifully mature Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, independently bottled by Adelphi as a highly limited single-cask release.

Distilled in 1986 and bottled in 2016, this whisky was matured for 30 years in a single ex-bourbon cask, with an outturn of just 177 bottles from cask #1491. Three decades of maturation have given this Cragganmore a refined and distinctive character.

The nose is lively and fruit-driven, offering pear, apple, green banana and Poire Williams, with subtle notes of well-used leather and dark chocolate. The palate is rich and sweet, developing ripe fruit, gentle acidity and creamy coconut, with a refreshing character emerging with a little water.

Cragganmore 30 Year Old is an exceptional mature Speyside whisky, combining 30 years of maturation, single-cask character and the craftsmanship of Adelphi in a very limited release that will appeal strongly to collectors and serious whisky enthusiasts.
