Hello Denver Drammers!
You’re invited to join us for a very rare chance to meet the founder of a new line of independent bottlings of Scotch on Monday, March 23rd at 6:30pm. The company is called Living Souls, and while their founder Calum Leslie is usually in Scotland, he happens to be in Denver for a couple days and we’re delighted to say he agreed to do this tasting with us! We’ll order in light food (likely pizza), which is included in your ticket. Our lineup will include:
99&1. This release is a bold single malt from Torabhaig distillery on the Isle of Skye, matured in 1st fill bourbon barrels. A sip takes you to a late summer BBQ by a misty Scottish loch, where the scent of smoked ham hangs in the cool air and laughter echoes off the hills. Flavours of burnt sticky marshmallows and roasted almonds fill the air, creating a sweet and savoury contrast that lingers. This is a dram made for long evenings, full of flavour and lively conversation.
40 Year Blend. This release is a unique 40yo which was laid down to marry in 1998 in a refill sherry butt. Take a sip and you’ll find yourself sitting at a picnic table by the edge of a forest, the remnants of a burnt-out fire nearby. The table is laden with a variety of tropical fruits, their vivid aromas blending with the fresh, earthy scent of the forest. Each breath you take is a refreshing mix of wild, woodsy freshness and ripe, juicy fruit, creating a serene, natural escape into the wilderness.
15 Year Blend. This release is a lively 15yo blend drawn from our solera system where we continually add exciting new whiskies. Take a sip and you'll be whisked to a twilight dinner in coastal Spain, your skin still tingling from the day's sun. The table is set with a bottle of sherry, tapas-style meats and grapes nestled on the plate, all capturing the casual opulence of a shore-kissed evening where every taste is a memory, every moment an echo of the sea's embrace.
10 YO Balblair. This exceptional 10yo Balblair single malt, finished in Limousin oak XO octaves, transports you to a grand library. The rich scent of leather bound books mingles with the warmth of aged oak furniture. Savour the nose of sultanas and candied oranges as you settle into the room’s calm sophistication. On the palate, creamy butterscotch and toasted oak envelop you in comfort, while the buttery-smooth finish with a hint of spice lingers like the warmth of a crackling fire.
Torabhaig 7yo. This release is a bold single malt from Torabhaig distillery on the Isle of Skye, matured in 1st fill bourbon barrels. A sip takes you to a late summer BBQ by a misty Scottish loch, where the scent of smoked ham hangs in the cool air and laughter echoes off the hills. Flavours of burnt sticky marshmallows and roasted almonds fill the air, creating a sweet and savoury contrast that lingers. This is a dram made for long evenings, full of flavour and lively conversation.
Plus more surprise pours TBA!
That’s our lineup, we hope you can join us! A big thank you to Joshua Robertson and Clarke Boyer for organizing, and to Clarke for hosting at his establishment Little Wolf (address: 4408 Lowell Blvd Denver, CO 80211-1367). As always, we ask that everyone arrange a ride home (after all, we’ll be drinking lots of high-proof stuff!). Please let us know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Charlie, Clarke, Joshua and Drammers Club
