Whisky review : The Cragganmore 12 years old, bottled @ 40%

-Classic malt, so they say,
-nice packaging

Colour: darker gold, straw, medium bodied

Nose: sweet Riesling, fruity, rough Sauternes wine, sweet apples, iced apple wine. Very fruity and sweet nose.

Mouth: light fruity, floral notes, charred wood, chewy green apple paste, but still some robust notes at the end.

Finish:  lingering apples notes, cold apples, gentle fruity notes. A very nice malt. !

A for the state. It's a great whisky. Simple and clean. a few rough notes but still, the nose and taste overcome these flat end.
C+ for the price. At 74,5 (SAQ) and 85$ (LCBO) it's a bit overpriced. I would see this one go for 60$. (considering it's a 12y...)
B+ for the presentation. Simple and clean ! Very classy presentation.
