Scotch with the Smiths
July 17 @ 7:00 pm
“Hostess Extraordinaire: Phyllis Smith” Here’s an opportunity to enjoy our fine Scotch whisky lineup in the lovely home of our event hostess, Phyllis Smith. Even more, her food selections are always a delight. On the whisky end, let’s begin with The Deveron 12 from the Macduff Distillery. It’s a tasting apéritif style single malt at an approachable 40% ABV. The fine Dalwhinnie Winter’s Gold is our second dram. It is distilled only during the winter when Dalwhinnie is the coldest distillery in Scotland. Glenfarclas is the winner when the question is what is the best 12-year-old sherried single malt. Come and see. Speaking of sherried whiskies, none is more sherried than Tamdhu Cask Strength at 58.8% ABV. Literally, it is the sherry bomb. My favorite Kilchoman is Machir Bay which comes in at 46% ABV and 50-ppm. I finally located the Lagavulin 12-year Special Release for 2024. It is a cask strength expression at 57.4% ABV and 34-38 ppm. This edition has more 1st fill than refill bourbon casks and will require your attention in a delicious manner.
So, do join us and bring a friend, because “good whisky is made great when shared among friends.” Join our family…
