2011-11 Best Of The Best

Review Date: 22-Nov-2011
The best whiskies of 2011, bagpipes, haggis, Robbie Burns address and 90 connoisseurs... better than Christmas. More...

2011-10 Octogalore

Review Date: 31-Oct-2011
Octogalore Tuesday 25th and with Michael Fraser Milne on Monday 31st October 2011. That was a fantastic treat, as if importing all these goodies wasn't enough! Apparently "Too much whisky is barely enough". More...

2011-09 Shackleton Replica Mackinlay's

Review Date: 26-Sep-2011
Shackleton's MacKinlay's Rare Old Highland Malt Replica tastings with some of the single malts used for this most incredible of whisky stories. More...

2011-08 Glenfarclas Vs Highland Park

Review Date: 30-Aug-2011
Surely we could pick three heather-smoke Orkney malts from three sherry sweet Speysides? And surely the cask strength Adelphi Highland Park would clean up? More...

2011-08 Aberlour A'bunadh

Review Date: 09-Aug-2011
It was going to be hard to live up to the hype... one night only of seven different batch numbers of Aberlour a'bunadh cask strength olorosso-matured scotch whisky. Were the malts really as different from each other as some of us expected? Or was this to be a nght of splitting hairs? More...

2011-07 All Of Islay

Review Date: 26-Jul-2011
What could be more in demand than all 9 Islay distilleries? So we scheduled three nights and I'm told these were booked out within half an hour. More...

2011-06 Esoteric Speyside

Review Date: 21-Jun-2011
The fast flowing River Spey, famous for its salmon fishing, provides some of the loveliest scenery in Scotland. The area around the river has more distilleries than any other region. Over the years we have looked at many of the famous whiskies distilled around Strathspey (did you know that a Strath is a wide shallow valley as opposed to a Glen which is narrow and deep?). For these tastings we will be sampling the delights of a few of the not-so-famous including whiskies we have never tried in our tasting programme before. More...

2011-05 More Dram For Your Buck

Review Date: 25-May-2011
Seven Scotch whiskies, all at 40% alcohol, all affordable, but what is best? The single Islay malts, of course! More...

2011-04 Bowmore And Blackadder

Review Date: 29-Apr-2011
Waiter waiter there's some soot in my whisky!Over two nights 54 whisky tasters checked out three official bottlings and four independant expressions of Bowmore. More...

2011-02 Springbank, Hazelburn, Longrow - Campbeltown Comfort

Review Date: 15-Apr-2011
Two sold out nights had to be converted into one big night to make the best use of Springbank's marketing manager, Peter Currie. Then the Earthquake hit and Peter's visit was cancelled. Never fear, the importer's Keith Tibble stepped in to bring us all up to date with what Springbank has in store for us in 2011. More...

I'm off to the bach for New Year. Outlook is wet but after the weather we had for Christmas I'm sure the gardens need it.
