Dallas/Ft. Worth Scotch Tasting at the Tipperary Inn

[Christo13]

Last night in Dallas, there was a scotch tasting at the Tipperary Inn for some XMarkers and some Scottish dancers. The meetup was organized by RowdyRed (thanks, Rowdy!), and we had a blast.

On to the photos!



The four whiskies we tasted: Auchentoshan (10 yr), Glenrothes (Select Reserve), Glenrothes (1991), and Bowmore (12 yr).



XMarkers in this photos: the back of my head; sitting at the top of the table on the left in a white T-shirt is ronusan; to Ron's right is HallmarkTx. The guy to my right (Robert), checks out XMarks, but I'm not sure what name he goes by (Rowdy can probably answer); and the back of Rowdy's head is to Robert's right. The rest of the people are in a Scottish dance group with Rowdy, I believe.



Cynthia and me (still sunburned from running around outside last Saturday).



After the tasting, other drinks were had. Here is Cynthia's Black Guinness (Guinness and black currant liqeuer/syrup?). It was very tasty, and had I not been driving, I would have had one after my black and tan.

The gents: Brandon/Lambda at the top of the stairs. On the left, top to bottom is Robert and Mike (from RowdyRed's dance group). On the right, top to bottom: me, Ron/Ronusan, and Mark/HallmarkTx.



The ladies...top to bottom: Cynthia, Margo (from RowdyRed's dance group), and RowdyRed.



Lambda's pipes.



Lambda playing the pipes. (He's very humble about his skill...he gets a very moving tone from the pipes!)

It was a very fun evening. The tasting was great, the friends even better, and I can't think of a better way of wrapping up a wonderful evening than being outside in the wind, listening to a piper!

I look forward to the next kilt night!

Ach! That'll teach me to get a sunburn (even accidentally)!

I had SO much fun! Rowdy, thank you so much for getting this together and please tell Tim and everyone at the Tipp that we were very thankful for being invited.

It was so nice meeting everyone -- they were all so incredibly nice! I was sad the evening had to come to an end, but I'm looking forward to the next time.

Looks like the lot of you guys had a fantastic time.
I'm glad you got to enjoy some very fine malts.

It looks like a great time was had by all! Maybe next time....

Nice people pix. I got to see a few faces I had not seen before

[Alaskan Kilted Guy]

Looks like you had a great time! Thanks for sharing the pics!

[RowdyRed]

Ohmygosh!
We had such a good time!
I, as well as others, were quite flushed after the second hit.

Glad you all could make it!
Looking forward to the next outing - possibly in Arlington or Fort Worth????

Living in Roanoke, that would work for us!

We have so much fun, though, driving to Dallas, Frisco, wherever on that side of the Metroplex is worth it.

McMathTx: I hope you can make it to one soon! Wish you could have made it, but I definitely understand

Rowdy: I can't wait for the next time! SO much fun!

If anyone else has any photos, go ahead and post 'em!

The photo of us came out a bit blurry, Rowdy, but it's silly-fun. Heehee! Just look at those big grins

Mmmmm, Single Malt. Is there someplace up there that carries the GlenRothes? We could get it in Germany but haven't been able to find it here in San Antonio. Looks like a grand evening up north.

YMOS,
Tony
