    Amazing! 31 drams of whisky & you can remember details like that! Do you write this stuff down or does this require a lot of "training."

    Great to see so many men in kilts. (Also great seein' the gals wearin' the pants!)

    If you don't mind me asking, do you pay as you go for each whisky you taste or is there one set fee?
    I'm going to a whisky tasting this coming Saturday sponsored by United Distillers. For $20 I believe we'll get a dram each of their 6 Classic Malts of Scotland. I was just wondering how it worked for a big tasting event like Whisky Live!

    OK, I'm thinking that Michael Jackson is someone who should be read & not seen. He should definitely not be the poster boy for drinking Scotch Whisky!

    I like the thistle kilt, Robertson. Is that new or has it been too long since I've seen any piccies of it?

    $20 is what we pay for a tasting at the Loch Norman Games with 4 to
    6 drams. (depends on who they get to do the tasting) So it sounds
    pretty fair.

    P1M,

    Did you get a special pass or rate?? I thought the tickets were
    close to 95 pounds just to get in...

    That much fine scotch, even in my USAF drinking days would have required several people just to stand me up!

    Looks like you had a great time, P1M - Thanks for the pics!
