    Whisky tasting

    Minneapolis:
    Tonight at Merlin's Rest Pub at 7:30

    "I encourage you to bring your whisky-virgin friends along to June's tasting! I am proud to announce The Glenmorangutan, a night of nothing but Glenmorangie! Fear not, it will be anything but boring and I shall pepper o ur normal tasting lesson with some gruesome Scottish history (I'll see what I can find). This is also the perfect opportunity for you to be a discerning taster and indulge in the idiosyncrasies of cask finishes side-by-side.

    The Glenmorangutan 6/5/08

    1. Glenmorangie Madiera Wood Finish 12yr.
    2. Galnmorangie Sherry Wood Finish 12yr.
    3. Glenmorangie Bergundy Wood Finish 12yr.
    4. Glenmorangie Portwood Finish 12yr.
    5. Glenmorangie 10yr (our scientific control (-;)

    Well I truly hope to see you there, I'm excited too as it's the first time that I've had 'em all at once!

    Slàinte,

    Wow I wish I live in Minnesota still. That looks like a great spread. I'd be truely interested in trying the Madiera Wood Finish. Sounds breathtaking.

    You should follow up tomorrow with some pictures from the night!

    I've been to a few whisky tastings. One or two were the best fun, but not one was dull. For such I wear a tie with my kilt.

    Oh my. I've had 1 thru 5 at one time or another and the Port Wood is my favorite. Wish I was there.
