Our recent vintage New England cold weather has really made people want to reach for some nice vintage single malts to enjoy by a roaring fire. I can’t help with you with the fireplace, but I can help with the single malts.
I’m pleased to announce that our next whisky tasting will be a tasting of whiskies from independent bottler and distiller Gordon & MacPhail, Tuesday February 11th at Waterman Grille from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. The tasting will be led by John Heffernan, Brand Ambassador of Gordon & MacPhail. If you aren’t familiar with independent bottlings, this is a great introduction to an important part of the whisky industry and a great chance to taste some unique whiskies from both well known, and less well-known distilleries.
The Lineup for the evening is as follows:
- Linkwood 15 Year Old
- Mortlach 15 Year Old
- Bunnahabhain 8 Year Old
- Glen Scotia 21 Year Old
- Highland Park 8 Year Old
- Glenburgie 21 Year Old
- Caol Ila 10 Year Old
Tickets for the tasting are $30 and are available today, as usual, at Bottles Fine Wine. Buy your tickets quickly because we are now selling out every month, and I expect this one to sell out as usual. Remember WhiskyRI tasting tickets make great Valentine’s Day gifts for that special someone in your life.
We’ll have our usual post-tasting prize raffle to benefit Operation Stand Down Rhode Island, an organization dedicated to helping homeless vetarans – so bring your cash and a generous spirit. We’ve raised over $1,400 for OSDRI and I hope we can raise even more this year. I hope to see you at this tasting – it should be a fun night with some interesting whiskies. -t
