Cyber Scotch Split #1

Scotch Clubbers are now spread all over the country. Let’s split some bottles! For this series, the club will purchase 14 bottle expressions and divide them into minis. For those who have been around a long time, you will remember our 15×15 bottle splits (14×14 for Euro bottles), and this is the same but with an online twist. Like our Advent calendar, the club will send you a shipment of minis. Unlike the calendar bottles, these will be labeled with their contents and will be around twice as large (so expect to see the 2oz french square minis). We WILL do online tastings which you are welcome to attend or skip. I (Andy) will walk us through each sample but keep it light and fun and increasingly unsober. We will divide the online tastings (Zoom) into two rounds of 7 whiskies.

As we can only purchase whisky we have sold, only the first 15 are guaranteed. For every 15 sales we get, we will buy another bottle for splitting. In order to keep the tastings more personal, we’ll split into smaller groups so that everyone can feel a part of the tasting.

Here’s what I found interesting and want to try. These are overseas purchases so that we can experience NEW whisky (part of our founding mission.) Note, these are not low-end bottles. If we are going to do this, we are going big.

I estimate these will get to you in mid-April.  (it takes 3 weeks just to get them to me from London.)

PLEASE NOTE THE EVENT DATE IS A PLACEHOLDER ONLY.  ONLINE TASTINGS WILL BE SCHEDULED TO FIT YOUR SCHEDULES.
