The Cragganmore scotch is one of the more bad ass scotches that we at onemalt have tried. To borrow some words from the bombastic and prolific co-author of this blog, the Cragganmore "makes me feel like I'm driving a Cadillac convertible on my way to pick up Uma Thurman in a Quintin Tarantino movie."

This scotch is strong and rugged and will put hairs on your chest. It's macho bite is immediately noticeable. However, it smooths out relatively quickly and leaves you with that feeling of calm but powerful purpose expressed so well by the great John Trivolta. The Cragganmore is one scotch which will make you want to get up on the dance floor and boogie. Remember to thank the distillers after you get down and disco with the beautiful Mia Wallace. The Cragganmore's smooth after taste will tingle on your tongue 'til the break of dawn.

This Royal comes fully loaded with cheese and does not apologize for it. So light up that stogy and fill up the glass. Your night just got a little more class.

Palates Welcome.
