Deanston with Adam Kaufman
October 9, 2020
Please note: Our scheduled guest speaker for this event, Stephen Woodcock, the Distilleries Manager for Bunnahabhain, Deanston and Tobermory, wasn’t feeling well last minute and was unable to attend. So we are rescheduling a time with him, and in the meantime, Adam Kaufman, the Northern District Manager for Terlato who had helped us set up this event, was nice enough to lead us through a tasting of the Deanston samples, with the idea we would save the Bunna and Tobermory samples for the rescheduled date with Stephen. Also, FYI, the recording for some reason did not capture the active speaker mode, but you can still hear everything fine. Just not our day I guess. Anyway, still a great time, enjoy!
