Origin and Heritage
Hailing from Scotland’s Speyside region, Cragganmore 12 is crafted at the Cragganmore Distillery in Ballindalloch, founded in 1869 by John Smith, a whisky legend who previously managed The Macallan and The Glenlivet. Strategically located near the River Spey and the Strathspey railway, the distillery was the first to leverage rail transport, a testament to Smith’s vision. Cragganmore’s unique flat-topped spirit stills and traditional worm tubs produce a complex, delicate spirit, matured for 12 years in second-fill ex-bourbon casks to subdue woodiness. As part of Diageo’s Classic Malts range since 1987, it earned a Gold Medal at the 2010 Scotch Whisky Masters and a 94-point rating at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, making it a prized choice for Nairobi’s whisky connoisseurs.
Taste Profile
Cragganmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (40% ABV) boasts a delicate yet intricate profile, praised by whisky writer Michael Jackson for having “the most complex nose of any malt whisky.” The nose offers a vibrant bouquet of sweet floral aromas—think heather and wildflowers—mingled with honey, vanilla, and citrus zest, accented by riverside herbs and a whisper of smoke. On the palate, it delivers a light-to-medium body with a creamy texture, revealing flavors of malt, hazelnuts, dark chocolate, and lavender, with hints of sweet wood smoke and sandalwood. The finish is long, malt-driven, and subtly smoky, with lingering sweetness. Best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water in a Glencairn glass, this whisky’s elegance captivates Nairobi’s hosts and collectors.
Ideal Pairings and Best Use Occasions
Cragganmore 12’s subtle, moreish profile makes it an ideal aperitif, pairing beautifully with Nairobi’s culinary scene. Complement its floral notes with scallops, smoked salmon, or creamy cheeses for a refined tasting. For local flair, pair with grilled tilapia or sukuma wiki to highlight its sweetness. It shines neat or in a light Highball, perfect for Nairobi’s upscale events—think corporate dinners, wedding toasts, or festive season gatherings. Serve at 15–18°C to unlock its aromas.
