Oh my... Just got the info. Scotch tasting this weekend. In the garden of the restaurant, at 2 and at 4. Cost is $20.00. Apparently Paul is running the thing.

The Scotch Tasting is a go! Beginning this weekend we will have 2 tastings a day at 2 and 4pm at the Rose and Crown area.  Each tasting will feature 4 different scotches. There will be water and accompaniments; fruit, bread, etc.  Tickets are $20 a person and can be purchased at the Rose and Crown throughout the day. See you there.

We had the first two tickets! I'm not overly fond of scotch so I thought it was "OK". Entertaining. Two of the scotches got a grade of "not bad" from me (which is high praise LOL). The other two were very smoky and peaty, blech.

Sidekick enjoyed his a bit more. Shared the ones I didn't like with him and other members of the table.

Worth the price of admission. Keep your ticket, it gets you a free dessert!

Not yet- or at least they haven't told the bartender yet. If I find out that it has become a regular weekly thing I'll let you all know.

I think I liked the second one the best and the fourth one had the most burn to it. I got to it late as I was browsing kee's bowshop, So I dunno if they gave a big explanation about each one. Luckily others in my party had gotten me a spot.

I used to drink plenty of whiskey when I was younger so I have no problem drinking scotch just not my preferred drink. I rarely drink whiskey or bourbon anymore. I've had some shots of single malt scotch that put me down for the count though.

 I found it fun and informative, I feel a little less like a barbarian now knowing where the diffrent Scotches comes from. Have to say Im definetly a Speyside and Highland Scotch drinker, as the Islay and Campbeltown Scotches were way too peaty and hot for my taste. The company was good, shared a table with Lady Kett and her sidekick (sorry for not properly introducing myself, but thanks for the extra shot ) Overall I thought it was a good deal for $20

 OOH! I wish I was there!  Lift a wee dram for me- or a big one!
Sigh.

No introduction necessary JM - I recognized you! The best part about the tasting parties is the sharing part. We went to a wine tasting on Sunday for Mother's day and my Prodigal Daughter got mommy a little tipsy by taking a sip of her wine then pouring her taster portion into mine.

On a side note, boy does that jalapeno cheese have a little kick to it or what? Yummy!
