The Curly Coo Bar

Postby Willie JJ » 30 Mar 2011, 15:17

I was up in Crieff last Saturday after a failed attempt to get to Glenturret before closing. As a consolation we went looking for a dram and found the Curly Coo Bar in the High Street. It's not a big place and it's not posh (I prefer it that way myself), but it does have a selection of 100 malt whiskies (and counting) and an extremely enthusiastic malt-fan manager in the person of Mandy. The collection of bottles is excellent with many interesting and some quite unusual drams to try. Time only permitted me 4 due to the online tastings on Saturday, but I had Aberfeldy 21yo, Fettercairn 24yo, Benriach Horizons 12yo and a Glen Scotia OB the details of which I forget. I have to make another (hopefully less abortive) trip up to Glenturret and will definitely pop in again.

Would anyone else consider it a kind of poetic justice if a female member won the prize bottle of Le Chick :evil:

Ah yes! Am relieved as this greatly improves of chances of winning. And Willie JJ, your cunning plan of doubling your chances by smuggling in a new member didn't work!

Les, yes let's!

Apparently I was also in the Curly Coo on the Saturday evening whilst in Crieff, or so the Mrs tells me. I think I must have been a wee bit squiffy :lol:

Evidently we were in the Curly Coo Bar also on saturday evening. As the football had finished they were showing reruns of Bullseye on the big screen. I also don't remember this but Mrs Les assures me this is true.
