Royal Mile Whiskies Tastings Autumn 2009

Welcome to the latest series of tastings from Royal Mile Whiskies. We have quite a mix of tastings for you this time. As well as the ever popular introductory tasting we’ll be concentrating on how ex-Sherry casks influence whisky. We’ll also be doing our next regional tasting, this time stopping off at Speyside. Further afield, we’ll be looking at Irish and American whiskeys. The grades “Introduction” to “Connoisseur” will help you choose a tasting that suits you best, but please understand this is only a guideline. Everyone is welcome to any tasting (as long as you’re at
least 18 years old!).

To book a place please visit us at our shop at 3 Bloomsbury St. Tel. 0207 4364763 or online at www.royalmilewhiskies.com

American Whiskey
5th November 2009
The European settlers brought with them the art of distilling to the United
States and with the materials available to them created unique and fascinating whiskies. With this tasting we will explain how Bourbon and Rye whiskey is made and highlight the range and complexity of this spirit by tasting six diverse whiskies. Let us convince you that there’s a lot more to American whiskey than just the big names.

Sherry Cask Malts
19th November 2009
Scotch Whisky and Sherry have had a long and close relationship with each
other for many years. Ex Sherry casks have long been held in high regard
amongst Scottish distillers as excellent casks in which to mature their spirit.
With this tasting we concentrate on the influence ex Sherry casks have on the aromas and flavours of Scotch Whisky by trying six sherry cask matured single malts.
