*LADIES ONLY WHISKY TASTING – THURSDAY 10TH NOVEMBER 2011*

For our next Ladies only whisky tasting in November we are delighted to be welcoming along Céline Têtu from Compass Box Whisky. Surprisingly, this will be the first time we have had a woman presenter for any of our tastings so this is definitely one to look forward to, with Céline bringing a certain ‘Je ne sais quoi’ to the evening (as well as a great deal of whisky knowledge).

Founded by John Glaser, Compass Box is a small independent specialist whisky company who make some fabulous whiskies through the art of blending and vatting. Individual casks of quality whiskies from different distilleries are specially selected for what they can bring to a particular blend, thus allowing Compass Box to cover the spectrum of Scotch whisky styles and resulting in small batch whiskies with great flavour profiles.

Although contemporary in approach Compass Box maintain and expand the tradition that drinking Scotch whisky should be a pleasure. With a signature style that they describe as whisky with an underlying richness, sweetness, and softness their range has something for everyone – from the delightful silky smoothness of Asyla through the spicy delights of the Spice Tree right up to the rich smokiness of the Peat Monster, and of course we mustn’t forget the wonderfully indulgent Hedonism.

So ladies, whether you’ve already discovered the delights of Compass Box whiskies or have yet to have the pleasure then come along and sample these sublime drams. And if you’ve got some friends still stubbornly sticking to the belief that they won’t like whisky then this is the ideal tasting to bring them along to…

Stanton House

The tasting will be held at Stanton House Hotel, Stanton Fitzwarren (www.stantonhouse.co.uk), and will commence at 7.00 for 7.30pm. Tickets are £12.50 per person, and this also entitles you to a discount of £3 against a bottle of one of the featured whiskies if bought or ordered on the night of the tasting.

Tickets are very strictly limited, and allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis and, as most of you already know, these tickets sell very quickly so it is best to book ASAP. To buy them just log on to www.whiskyandwines.com and place an order for the number you require, or telephone us on (01793) 765071, or call in and see us at Arkwrights, The Dormers, Highworth, Wiltshire.

Admission to the tasting is by ticket only, and most, if not all, of the whiskies tasted will be available to purchase on the night so come prepared.

These ladies tastings are always very convivial evenings and are a great chance to try some new whiskies that you might not encounter otherwise, and to be educated and entertained at the same time. Come along and join us!

Slainte!
