I didn't find any new favourites last night but I loved the opportunity to explore where whiskey is going around the world. Dominic is a very engaging speaker too, with lots of personal anecdotes and opinion.

i was particularly amazed by his WIld Turkey 101 stories delivered totally off the cuff on a bottle that David and i literally picked up 10 minutes before the tasting from an off-license as a substitute for a whiskey that failed to arrive.

I similarly enjoyed the night and particularly liked the new zealand blend if only for the utter novelty of all that rose petal freshness.

Hi Fionnàn, pretty much agree, although I did enjoy the Zuidam rye also.... Great evening thanks Dominic

It was a great night. Loved the stories. The Kentucky one in particular. Great opportunity to taste whiskeys we wouldn't normally ever get the chance to.

I only wish I could make the next tasting Fionnán, will there be any stories to accompany the whiskeys?
