It’s not often you see 2 comparable IB Cragganmore at the same place so I knew I had to pair these to see if this distillery, which is often overlooked as just another Speyside, is any good

Whisky Life Cragganmore 27yo 1989

Nose

Tropical fruits, floral, more fruity than the 21yo

Body

Honey, sweet, beeswax, mouth-coating also slightly spicy towards the end. The additional age definitely helps smooth out and adds depth to the dram, and it’s noticeably more enjoyable
