Classic Malt Whisky Nosing and Tasting

Organised by Pete Mallaband

 
Thursday January 25th 2007

Please put the above date in your diary and register your interest as soon as possible.

The evening, in Burns Month, is designed to give everyone a chance to understand a little of the background to Malt Whisky, sample 4 different malts from 4 of the main regions and learn to identify and categorise the flavours using the Taste Wheel.  There will also be a chance to test your knowledge in the Malt Whisky Quiz!!

I intend to bring along a Glenkinchie (Lowland), Cragganmore (Highland), Talisker (Western Highland) and a Springbank (Cambeltown).  Strictly speaking I should also add Lagavulin (Islay) but first it adds  £37 to the overall cost and also I don't like peaty malts!!!!  If anyone would like to bring some along though, it will definitely provide a different nose and taste to the others.

Especially for the ladies, whilst you may not wish to drink the whisky, you could still join with someone who does and help with the nosing and identifying the various flavours.

It is also proposed to have a little bit of Haggis on the night to help with the atmosphere!

I need at least 10 people who will be drinking the malts, there will be a charge of about  £7 and you will be given the chance to buy the unfinished bottles at the end of the night. 

Please register your interest as soon as possible by return and then more info will follow I have costed out the event  more fully.
