Dear Malt Messenger Subscribers,

The Spring Single Malt Festival is only a couple of days away, and there are still about 10 of the 100 tickets still available. The cost of the tasting is $60, which includes your own Glencairn glass, and an opportunity to sample from the more than 80 single malts available.

As one final inducement I have included the full list below of all the single malt which will be available for sampling. Also we have added a couple of special whiskies to the lineup in the last few days which should make for a more interesting tasting. Firstly, there are four rare, older whiskies:

1.       Brora 25Yr

2.       Bushmills 21Yr

3.       Balvenie 30Yr

4.       BenRiach 25Yr

Secondly, Andy Dunn from Gold Medal Marketing has also kindly donated 3 different cask samples of Springbank 1996 that were filled last year. All three of them are from different Sherry casks, filled on the very same day:

1.       Springbank Cask Sample 1996 Cask 257

2.       Springbank Cask Sample 1996 Cask 260

3.       Springbank Cask Sample 1996 Cask 269

The following is the complete list of whiskies which will be sampled at the festival.  Hope you can join us!
