Program:
- Glenfarclas
105 cask strength, which has strong sherry and
dry apricot notes with a touch of toffee delivered
with a 120 proof punch.
- Royal
Lochnagar was Queen Victoria's favorite and offers
a palate reminiscent of fruitcake and sherry with
a malty, grassy sweetness.
- Campbelltown
Loch is a rare blend that's reputed to
be blended with very old Springbank and maybe
even Longmorn. The palate promises to be reminiscent
of grains and a hint of peaches and chocolate
with a long round smoky finish.
- Plus:
the tasting will be rounded out with an peaty
Islay whisky and maybe a surprise or two!
