SMWS July 2019 Mid-Month Releases

Submitted by Philip Storry on Thu, 11/07/2019 - 21:30

The July mid-month releases are here!

If you’re feeling flush, there’s a superb Bladnoch that has plenty of the tropical fruit we’ve come to expect of older drams from this distillery. At the other end of the scale, there’s a delightful Glen Scotia that combines bacon, sea salt, soy sauce and lemon.

For the sherry-heads, there’s a PX-finished Cragganmore that will tick many boxes, as it’s a potent little blighter that walks with a lot of swagger...

Bringing up the rear there’s a Royal Brackla with some floral notes, tobacco & lemon; and there’s a Glen Deveron with fruits, grass and cinnamon.
