Dear Malt Messenger Subscribers,

There are still some seats left for this Thursday’s Speyside single malt tasting, Whisky Traveller Speyside. It’s a virtual tour of the Speyside region, its distilleries and other notable sights.   

Whisky Traveler Speyside – Thursday April 22nd – $65

The whisky traveler tastings are a new addition to our spring whisky program here at the store. It is a series of regionally specific tastings that highlight some of the best whiskies in a specific region of Scotland while taking a virtual tour complete with maps, photos and maybe the odd video. It will be the next best thing to visiting the country yourself!

The first in the series is the above mentioned Whisky Traveller Speyside. The Speyside is Scotland’s most represented whisky region, with nearly half of the country’s more than 100 distillery’s calling it home. We’ll investigate why that is, get a lay for the land and sample some incredible drams. I haven’t finalized the list just yet, but some of the whiskies we will sample may include the following 5 and at least one other as yet unchosen whiskies:

Duthies Cragganmore 15Yr
BenRiach 1996 KWM Madeira Cask
Balvenie 17Yr Sherry Oak
Macallan 18Yr
OMC Probably Speyside’s Finest Distillery 41Yr
G&M Glen Grant 1966 41Yr

Slainte!
