Tandem Delight
August 13, 2020 @ 7:00 pm
Tandem Delight, Teaninich-Dailuaine: Diageo’s Teaninich (Highlands) and Dailuaine (Speyside), 2 little-known but never the less top-tier candidates, make a great opening tandem. Have discovered Loch Lomond yet? If not, let’s get started with its lovely 12-year. Is Springbank the top distillery in Scotland? No, it’s the #1 distillery on planet Earth! It also has my favorite 10-year. Tomintoul has a new release: Peaty Tang. We will finish with Highland Park’s Valknut, Vikings series release. I hope that you are able to join us and bring a friend. Why? Because “good whisky is made great when shared among friends.”
