Are these tastings for Society meetings or for online tastings?

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

So far only society meetings in Dublin and once we get into the swing of things we may try on-line ones as well.

Well Done Adrian. Alot of thought gone into those suggestions. It would make for a great night!!

[John]

True enough Stephen, but it would also make for the mother of all morning afters!

Fair play Adrian, nice listing and not a bad categorisation either! Clearly there is a great deal of depth within the industry. Not to be picky, and it's only because I fight a battle of wills with it every evening but the Dungourney is a 1964 expression. Unless you're going to upset me and say that there's also a '67 out there that I didn't know about
All the best,

Not picky at all I'd be the same myself ... well spotted ... now editied


AS I say just suggestions and might get other people to come up with stuff of their own
