Cragganmore, Glendronach, and Bowmore.

How about blends?

How about blends?

I like that idea but I am having a gag reflex remembering some of the nas blends from the last time viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10954&st=0&sk=t&sd=a



Even if it doesn't win the vote maybe we can set up a blend tasting for the end of August?

Ardbeg? Glenfiddich? What about doing a sherry festival?

[johan brugge]

Just a thought, but why not from one particular Independant Bottler?

[johan brugge]

My thoughts exactly! I'm sure it will be very educational.

OK, how about Signatory for the third Saturday in September?

We'll skip October unless Nick is willing to host as I am busy most weekends in October.

That sounds good to me. I have 4 bottles of Signatory currently open. Bring it on.

How about a blends tasting for the 2nd Saturday in October?

[Ganga]

Sounds good to me Sean.

3rd Saturday in September - Signatory (I'll see if I can get someone out for this)
2nd Saturday in October - Blends

Any possibility of a Canadian whisky tasting someday? Give us a home court advantage for once and make the rest of the kids scramble to find something similar?

Musky

We can accomodate you Musky. Sounds like a theme for Thanksgiving, er November. Forgot, you have a different Thanksgiving.

Yeah, we have a tendancy to doing stuff a bit different here. Sorry C57, didn't realise this had been done before - maybe it could be a yearly thing in November. Y'know the old, we feel sorry for North Americans and so once a year will drink their whisky. We could do a US tasting one week and a Canuckistan one the next. Mexico has awesome Tequila and so we could honour the NAFTA by having one of those the third week.

Something to think about. OOOPS, it's Wednesday, off to SOI.

Musky

No objection from me to doing it again Musky! It was interesting last time.

I agree Nick, I learned that I rather enjoy the Crown Royal Reserve. A very yummy dram. And maybe it will give me the push I need to buy a bottle of Crown Royal Black.

Would blends include blended malts as they supposed to be called these days?

[Ganga]

Someone care to set a date in October for Canadian whiskies? Week before Halloween is probably no good as I know several of us will be tied up. Musky? Nick?

[Ganga]

Ok, we'll go with the weekend of October 15. Hope to see everyone here.

We're going to do a series of US whiskies for November.

Suggestions for December? Do we want to go monster sherries for the Xmas spirit?
