Dear All,

Following on from our stunning night with John MacDonald from Balblair, who pretty much blew everyone away with the 6 vintages from their range ( 2 of which aren’t released until later in the year and we can’t wait for the 1978 to become available!), we’re now ‘sounding out’ the potential take-up for our August tasting.

Willie Tait (Distillery Manager) will be here to show a whole range of new expressions from the Isle of Jura distillery on TUESDAY 11^TH AUGUST. The line up will include one or two expressions from the current range, before moving through all three of the new ‘Mountain’ (Paps) expressions. These are all 15 year old whiskies that have been ‘finished’ on different red wine casks and were launched at the Islay Whisky Festival a couple of weeks ago. To round out the evening we’ll be tasting the very rare 1974 vintage (anything that gets 91 points from Malt Maniac Serge Valentin is never to be sniffed at) AND a brand new expression which won’t be released until later in the year. We can’t tell you anything about this one as yet, so you’ll just have to turn up to see what it’s all about!

 Now it’s your turn…..

We suspect that many of you are away on holiday at this time of the year (slackers!) but the consequence is that we need to get an idea of how many people are likely to attend this evening. Put simply, we need to know if we’ll need to get a big room for this tasting OR whether we make it a more niche event that we hold in the shop, but that does limit us to a maximum of 30 guests.

Please let us know if you’d like to come along to this by dropping us a quick e-mail and we’ll take it from there. We’re not asking for a commitment, just trying to gauge the size of room that we’ll need.

Kind regards
