    Very forward and bullishly dry for its age, and more intense than the standard Cragganmore bottling. It’s rare for a whisky this young to be so complex.

    Very Long burn, then hot peat

    A very strong whisky. Full strength it is sharp and peppery. Watered it is less sharp and pepper but with more peat. I found it difficult on the palate. Not entirely well balanced.
