Morrison Bowmore Whisky Tasting

On Wednesday 15th February Phil Nickson will be coming along to present whiskies from three very different distilleries.  Auchentoshan,  Bowmore and Glen Garioch distilleries are all owned by Morrison Bowmore Distillers (a subsidiary of Suntory) but Auchentoshan hails from the Lowlands and is characterised by its light, refined profile, whilst Bowmore is the oldest distillery on Islay and produces a medium peated whisky that has its own fragrantly smoky style and Glen Garioch is from the Highlands and has malty, floral and heathery characteristics.

This is going to be an interesting and diverse whisky tasting, with something for every taste.  A great start to our whisky tasting year so don’t miss out!

See below for all the details and if you have any queries just contact us.

UPCOMING EVENT
Name AUCHENTOSHAN, BOWMORE & GLEN GARIOCH WHISKY TASTING   
Date Wednesday 15th February 2012 
Time 7.00 for 7.30pm
Venue Stanton House Hotel, Stanton Fitzwarren 
Details This tasting with Phil Nickson of Morrison Bowmore is a great chance to compare and contrast three very different styles of single malts.  The Auchentoshan provides a taste of how triple distillation can produce a delicate yet robust whisky, Glen Garioch will let you sample a Highland style malt from one of the oldest distilleries in Scotland and, even if you have shied away from peated whiskies in the past, the smoky yet perfumed Bowmore may help change your mind as it is a great introduction to peaty whisky.

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 they always sell very quickly it is best to book ASAP.  To buy them just log on to http://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.
