Tasting #23 Recap: Blind SMWS Tasting

On Wednesdays September 5th and 12th, 2018, the Saratoga Whiskey Club had its first Blind Scotch Malt Whisky Society tasting.  We had six different single malt whiskies to taste from and it was an interesting evening to see how close the members came to a consensus.

• SMWS 73.98 – Layers of harmony – Aultmore 17 Year
