Title: Scotch tasting?
Post by: Hercules on April 20, 2012, 09:56:38 AM
OK I THINK I've seen it advertised for this weekend but for the life of me can't find specifics now.

Is it the weekend of 04/21 and when? Any help appreciated.

Rose & Crown
I believe Paul said it was 1:00 & 3:00
Check with either Paul or James at the Rose & Crown bar.
Several scotches will be sampled every weekend.

Plans for rum tasting pending, also possibly a bourbon tasting on the final weekend.

If I attend all those tastings, I'm going to need some help as well...

update from Paul
"At 2 and 5. Tour of single malts this weekend, minimum of five alcohols, I might sneak in more. Cost is $30, comes with free dessert at restaurant.

Also, I have no idea what happens if it is pouring. I keep asking and get no answer."

I've done this scotch tasting and just let me tell you.... it's worth it. The scotchs were all fine single malts and the information was very helpful. I now know to NEVER try a new scotch from the Islay region. The amounts poured are generous and it's a real good time. DO IT ! I will be doing it if I'm certain to have a DD.

 I did the Scotch tasting too- last year! Thumbs up! I did not like the Islay scotch either but swapped it for one I did like! I want to do it again!

Hercules - The answer from our Food and Beverages Manager is 'yes' to the Irish Whiskey.
