The Olde Mouldy lends you a helping hand in making up your mind about attending the Lagavulin Masterclass coming up on Wednesday, November 2 at 6pm because we are very thoughtful

It’s been four weeks now since we announced our Lagavulin masterclass, which means hopefully you’ve been paid twice since then and we expect you’ve been scrimping and saving in order to budget $355 for this event. Well we’re delighted to tell you that there are still tickets left! Since then, we have also announced that we’ll be celebrating our first anniversary immediately following the tasting, so you can stick around, have some food, and taste a couple more very special whiskies if you like.

Sometimes it’s hard to know, though, how special or delicious a whisky is going to be, when someone just throws ages and vintages at you, so we’ve assembled some tasting notes of the rarities for you to peruse if you’re the sort to find that helpful. Warning: You might consider donning a bib first to collect the forthcoming drool. Our favorite reviewer is a very experienced and strangely funny man from Alsace named Serge Valentin who pens the unequaled blog Whisky Fun. While it would be more polite to hyperlink you directly to each review, we’ve instead collected and slightly abridged them because his reviews are published in great large tasting sessions, most of which would be irrelevant for your purposes, and he’s been known to waffle rather.

Some of you might be interested to know that Monsieur Valentin is really quite a conservative scorer, though you wouldn’t know it to see the scores he’s given these – we assure you that is only because we truly have assembled quite an enviable lineup. Every other whisky he’s ever tasted has scored a 72.
