Epic tasting event - almost live!

First dram was a mystery dram. It took @TAlexander 10 seconds of nosing to identify it as a Forty Creek limited edition.... founder's reserve

Well, I didn't know it was Founder's Reserve, which I had never had before!

That's quite a spread on offer there @Nozinan, enjoy your evening!

(Fixed the first image orientation for you btw)

Next is @paddockjudge's homemade scotch/Canadian blend!

Next: the amazing Nikka From The Barrel!

Next up - the venerable Canadian Club 20 Year Old (2016 edition). Delicious!

Haven't tried this Caol Ila 17 before! Pay no attention to the man behind the napkin!

So let's see what's better - the new bottling or the old bottling?

definitely the older bottling!

Whistle while you work!

I've fixed the image orientation issue but you may need to clear your browser cache to see the results. These were mobile image uploads right? I'd be interested to know which type of device.

Getting our Irish on! Dunville 10yo PX Cask.

@jeanluc First photo was mine, a blackberry classic, but when replying to the original post I couldn't get to the "save" button after uploading a photo so @talexander took over on his iPhone.

@paddockjudge says "Boiled turnips"...but in a good way. Glen Scotia Double Cask.

The Glenlivet Cipher. Some love it, some hate it.

Butter tarts (with pecans) go well with Booker's 2015-01 (@paddockjudge and @talexander only)

one of us nipped at the heels of my Bowmore Tempest 5, but didn't finish it

@paddockjudge is the only one there who is not camera shy?

And then @talexander nipped the remaining heel!

Here comes the Bladnoch 10 55%

More detail on that Bladnoch 10 55%

1971 40yo Armagnac. It ain't whisky but hey why not???

This is a beautiful spirit!

After that Armagnac....this. It will kill it with fire.

You guys are all invited to play basketball with me tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m.!

(You could make it with a private jet.)

Do we have to bring all the bottles?

Just your company would be satisfactory...the bottles can wait until after the game.

A couple of us also tried some Peat Monster, and some Martel XO.

Writers Tears Cask Strength 52% and Bowmore Laimrig 15yo 54.1%

Given the great company, conversation and the fact that this went from about 5 pm to 130 am, I think this meets the criteria for an epic tasting. Thanks all for coming and helping me drink my whisky and for sharing yours!
