Cragganmore 12 Years Old

Review by: sfaulk
Color: Pale, almost yellow.
Nose: A pleasant burn, mostly a smoke and wood smell with a faint wisp of fruit.
Body: Thin, but with a lasting finish.
Palate: The most lasting taste is wood, some smoke as well.
Finish: Brilliant finish, lighter than most.

This would be a nice one to introduce new whiskey drinkers to, a bit thin for my tastes.
