Scotch Tasting

[Random Girl]

Happy birthday!  Sorry for not making it, I had Avalon and a rediculous amount of grocery shopping to do which resulted in me doing the better part of nothing all night and passing out on the couch at 10:30

Glad you had fun!

[Morwen Twilight]

I just wanted to say that it was nice meeting everyone at the scotch tasting. Thanks for inviting me Sorcha.

[Muffin]

Was nice meeting you Morwen! Hope to see you again soon!!

Alas Fiona the whiskey wench was a little slow on the upswing emailing the Scotch tasting information this time...but you can't really blame her, she was off doing some experimental art thing in which they were trying to induce an altered state by not sleeping and performing in various...artsy things. http://vita.mn/story.php?id=22827464

Anyway, in case you are trying to make last minute plans involving liquor, there IS a Scotch tasting tonight at Merlins.  I will be at the RF Pub Night sipping an Arnie Palmer at the Claddagh so will not be attending.  Take that Fiona, no longer will I sit at home pining for your emails about which Scotch's will be on the menu >drool<...Speaking of which,   the menu for tonight is as follows


• Bowmore Dusk (Claret Wine Cask Finish) - Islay
• Scapa - Orkney
• Highland Park 18yr - Orkney
• Talisker - Skye

August Already?!! the bad news...winter is just a few months away.  The good news...Faire is only 10 days away -AND- another scotch tasting is tomorrow! Fiona did not stick to a region, or taste, or a historical connection this time.  She has chosen 4 from the milder side.  I have not tried any of these so I think i just may just have to make it to this one.

• Balblair 10yr (Northern Highlands)
• Auld Reekie (Islay) blend, no age statement.
• Benromach (Speyside) no age statement.
• Cragganmore D.E. double-matured 1992, bottled '05 (Speyside).(this one sounds good!)

Slàinte,

From Fiona "The Whiskey Wench":

Hello Everyone,

So the upcoming tasting is a little different...we shall be indulging in some heady cask strength whiskies. Each of these Scotches is a wee bit different but they all have some taste characteristics in common....you'll have to wait and see!!!

1. Loch Morar 12yr. Highland.

2. Inchmurrin 12yr. Highland.

3. Ardmore 13yr. Highland. 1990 Cask non-chill filtered. Cask strength.

4. The Arran Malt. Island. No age statement. Bottle no. 366 of 442. Single Cask (cask strength).
Be warned DO NOT drink this puppy without water, you'll get a nasty shock. Not for the faint of heart! Are ye man/woman enough?

Well I hope to see many of you then! Same price as normal $25 for four taster shots, prizes and Wench included.

Have a great week!

Slàinte,

Fiona
