Cragganmore SMWS 37.82 “Curious Complexity”

Thanks to /u/twiddleDD for the sample Continuing my ongoing series that I’m calling “Scotch Malts, Wife’s Selection”, in which my wife goes through my backlog of SMWS (Scotch Malt Whisky Society) samples that I haven’t reviewed yet, pours them blind, and then I review it blind.

Cragganmore SMWS 37.54 “A contradictory dram”

Thanks to /u/xile_ for bringing this bottle to a recent light drinking time with friends. Cragganmore and I are a contradictory pair at the best of times.

Cragganmore Special Edition 10 year Cask Strength [Feather’s Flight Review Set #4]

Cragganmore 12

So… I went on a little bit of a whiskey purchasing binge for awhile there in December, as I deal with stress poorly and buying alcohol and then having it around my house, unopened for months is another one of the things I do. It is like I’m only partially an alcoholic, with some of […]
