Cragganmore12 Year Old Speyside Whisky (Special Release 2019)
R1,249
About
An intriguingly smoky single malt from the Cragganmore Distillery released as part of Diageo's Special Release 2019 series. Yes, smoky Cragganmore! Even the owl on the label looks surprised by this! No feathers ruffled here, though, because it's a rather tasty expression indeed. This one is matured in refill American oak casks for 12 years before being bottled at cask strength.

- Palate: More orchard fruit, some drying spice and a little honey initially, then water reveals a savoury hint of gamey meat is followed by a note of peppery oak and then a sweet layer of vanilla sugar.
- Finish: A beautiful balance of sweetness, smokiness and spice lingers, with a faintly tart citrus element underneath.

Humble bragging. How is this still a thing?
You know the type. They'll say something along the lines of "I really miss my old Chevy Spark. This Audi SUV is so much harder to park."
Rest assured they don't miss that Chevy AT ALL. They just want you to know that they spent truckloads of cash on the latest Audi, but they want to come across as really casual because somehow that makes them cooler. Or something.
You'd think the complete lack of any complimentary responses would put an end to this type of self-appreciation, but if anything it's happening more and more.
We'd love to come up with an effective solution to it (honestly, it's what the world needs) but we're waaay too busy running a successful eCommerce company to actually invest the time.
Did you know we're also getting our PhDs on the side? No big deal.
