Cragganmore 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%

Cragganmore 17 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.50%

Cragganmore 1989 21 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.00%
7 I'd want more for a 21Year Old. Disappointing.

Rare Auld Cragganmore 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.30%

Single Malt - Scotland - 48.30%

Signatory Cragganmore 1989
