Fellow Drammers!
World Whisky Day is coming up on Saturday, May 16th and we're ready to throw a massive Drammers Global Tasting Party in its honor. We've secured an array of amazing bottles and guest speakers from around the world. I'll follow up with a more detailed description soon, but in the meantime, check out this lineup, in alphabetical order...
Amrut Indian Whisky: Aatma Single Cask - Single Barrel, Collector Series. 56.5% abv. Peated single malt matured in port pipe for 6 years, 8 months (about as old as it gets for whisky matured in the hot Indian climate...).
Brenne French Single Malt Whisky: Estate Cask. Matured in French Oak Cognac Casks. 40% abv.
Cotswolds British Single Malt: Founder's Choice. Cask strength whisky matured in STR ex-red wine barriques. 60.5% abv!
30yo Hammerhead Czech Rare Single Malt. 30yo!!!! 30yo!!! We have 2 of 300 bottles of this insanely rare Czech single malt, bottled at 51.2% abv.
Starward Australian Whiskey: Solera. 100% Australian barley, matured exclusively in ex-Apera casks (Apera is an Aussie fortified wine, similar so Spanish sherry), using their special take on the solera process. 43% abv.
Stauning Danish Single Malt: Young Rye. This malted rye was distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2018 and has long been sold out. 43.3% abv.
Three Ships South African Single Malt Whisky. This is the only one in the mix that we've got a mix of different bottles. We were able to source a 750ml bottle of their flagship 10yo limited edition, not available in the US as far as I know, and 2 of the 375ml bottles of the That Boutique-y Whisky Co. 6yo from Three Ships. Rather than go through the hassle of a SET A / SET B, everyone will simply get randomly given one or the other, they both taste amazing btw.
What a lineup! Excited to welcome our guest speakers for an incredible in-depth chat on Saturday the 16th of May, at 3pm / 15:00 EST.
Cheers!
