April's Tasting ... BenRiach Distillery in the form of Alistair Walker, Regional Sales Director and son of the founder of BenRiach, visited us Delights on offer includde 16 year old, 20 year old, 25 year old, 15 year old Dark Rum Finish, Curiositas, peated 12 year old Port finish and last but not least a 1972 limited batch 4 single cask bottling. Phew!
March's Tasting Review Full to the cellar rafters with a good sprinkling of new folk, relishing the aromas, chortling in the vapours, so with a full house we had a equally full and international programme of drams. Highlights included : Penderyn Welsh Malt Whisky...(nose) Honey and figs...(palate) Chewy malt and biscuit, medium flavour and body, (flavour) Sweet oak, rounded and a dram to watch when it reaches greater age.
February's Tasting Review - Duncan Taylor Tasting review Thanks go out to Jacqueline (Sutherland) and Ronnie (Routledge) for a show of impressive bottlings. Another packed cellar rooms tasted malt whisky expressions ranging from 12 years old to 40 years old, from a 12 year old peated (Auld Reekie/Islay) vatted malt through to a 40 year old grain (Invergordon) whisky at 50.3 % abv. Highlights included: Invergordon Grain 40 year old ...(nose) Oyster shell pure sweet aromas with toffee apple (p) Mindboggling grain providing more sugars with great length and consistency... More about them at their web site www.dtcscotch.com Burns' Night Whisky Tasting....Haggis, Tatties and Neeps ******************************2007 reviews****************************** In November Gordon Wright from Alchemist came to present our tasting. I give you his manifesto in his own words: Review of Bruichladdich Night September 27th 2007. Full thanks go out to Don Maclellan from Bruichladdich for his presentation on 27th September. I can report that the Laddie Links 14 year old received the most attention - a rich spicey/herbal nose, full throttle malty oatmeal balanced with vanilla barley cream. 'I doubt the pass the bottle approach will be repeated..' was commented and I'd have to concur, but every once in a while, hey. Thanks mainly to you guys for making it a night to remember. |
