Cragganmore 1990 30 Year Old Octave
Notes from Duncan Taylor Pre-Octave (ie before it was put into the Octave cask): Colour - Pale gold.Nose - Gentle sherry with delicate citrus underneath, milky chocolate, some herbal tea, and a touch of coconut, smooth and honied.
Palate - Light maple syrup, bounty bars, Christmas cake with vanilla icing, cloves, and star anise balance the sweetness, fresh and firm.
Finish - Of good length, off-dry with some toasted oak coming through, an unexpected hint of salt.
