Spirit of Speyside Tasting “An afternoon with Angels” at The Royal Hotel Elgin, Sunday 1st May 2016 – Scotch Whisky News
An afternoon with Angels
Sunday 1 May Royal Hotel Elgin, 3pm
This will be a spiritual experience. How the Angels get their share, how much they get and where from. The heavenly drink!
Our afternoon is shared with the MCLEANSCOTLAND Spiritual Team of Vic Cameron and Robert Ransom. Vic is ex Diageo and now is a minister in his own church – how did that happen? And why? So Vic knows all about the Angels taking drams, he now also chats with them via the Heavenly sermons! Robert is the founder of Angels Nectar, an ex Glenfarclas man, he too knows a thing or two about Angels. We have also good background support, as our own whisky club; Angels Whisky Club has for a Patron, no less than Charles Maclean.
During the ageing process, at least 2% of the whisky in each (Scottish) barrel evaporates through the oak. Although 2% may sound small, at around 50 litres lost per barrel over a ten year maturation period (multiplied by thousands of barrels) it can add up to many hundreds of thousands of litres. A twenty year old whisky, for example, can lose up to 40% of its volume to evaporation, about £1 million per year!
DRAMS; 5 drams to share in the afternoon with a nibble of food or two!
