Upcoming Event: Islay Scotch Tasting @ Amherst Coffee
This Saturday I’ll be leading a tasting of Islay scotches at Amherst Coffee in Amherst, Mass. I’m really looking forward to it. Not only do I think it’ll be a fun time, but there will be a number of scotches that I haven’t tried in a long time. In fact one of them, the Caol Ila 12 year old, was the first bottle of scotch that I ever bought, and I haven’t tasted it since then!
Here is the full list of what we’ll be tasting:
- Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist 16 Year
- Bowmore 15 Year
- Bruichladdich 17 Year
- Bunnahabhain 18 Year
- Caol Ila 12 Year
- Lagavulin 16 Year
- Laphroaig 15 Year
What a great list of whiskies! Right now, I’m tossing around ideas for how best to proceed with the tasting, specifically what order to taste them in.
There will be two tastings, one at 5pm and another at 6pm, limited to 10 seats each. To sign up, stop by the shop or call 413-256-8987.
