Cragganmore 1971 43 Year Old - Cask# 2300

This extraordinary Cragganmore 43 Year Old is one of the oldest and rarest expressions ever released from the celebrated Speyside distillery. Known as the Speyside representative in Diageo's renowned Classic Malts Collection, Cragganmore has long been admired for its elegant, lightly peated style and remarkable complexity.

Filled in 1971 and matured for an incredible 43 years in a single European oak butt, this exceptional whisky showcases the remarkable depth and refinement that only decades of patient ageing can achieve. Released in 2015, it was the oldest Cragganmore bottling ever launched at the time, highlighting the distillery's rich heritage and mastery of long maturation.

The extended ageing has created a whisky of outstanding character, combining rich oak influence with layers of mature fruit, gentle spice, honeyed sweetness, and the subtle smoky nuances that define Cragganmore's house style. Elegant and beautifully balanced, it offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Speyside's finest distilleries at exceptional age.

Drawn from cask #2300, the release yielded just 474 bottles worldwide, making it a highly sought-after collector's whisky and an increasingly scarce piece of Scotch whisky history.
