Online Festive Special 2022 - Fridays 16/12 & 6/1/23

I can't quite believe another year of amazing whisky tasting and trips is almost over!! To celebrate everything we've enjoyed I've picked a fine selection of drams from some of the distilleries we have featured this year, or indeed visited!! You will not be disappointed.

The DRAMS

It's time to bring the JURA back, this time a very rare peated 1989. Then our customary dram #2 weirdness, featuring the excellent 2022 FLAMING HEART (purchased in Pitlochry on our Brora trip!). Next up is a wonderful 25yo GLEN GARIOCH, a limited club bottling similar to our East Coast Whisky one!! Some Rare Malts never goes amiss, and neither does the distillery of the Swan, LINKWOOD 26 (somewhere we may visit next year!). The distillery only BALVENIE 21, super delcious, and what a great tasting that was.

Things can only get better, well hopefully, but either way MORTLACH 36 & DALLAS DHU 31 should sort us all right out! Followed by two more closed distilleries, GLENLOCHY 14 & CONVALMORE 28. Finally the cherry on the cake....it has to be BRORA 2003, as it really has been a Brora year with the worlds first online partnership tasting AND that magnificent distillery group visit!! Now what does 2023 hold in store? We will just have to wait and see!!

The DETAILS

The tasting will be held on ZOOM, from 7.30-10pm GMT on Friday 16th December & Friday 6th January (If you can’t make these times, a recording will be available afterwards).

The tasting is informative, yet also informal, with everyone able to join in, and to share their whisky enthusiasm rather than their ego’s!!

The 15ml drams will be mailed to you, 1st class signed for (in a padded box) at least a week before the tasting. International shipping is available upon request. You will also receive some tasting clues, the running order, and the Zoom link in the days before the evening.

This full tasting costs £210 inc (UK) p&p. You can opt to subtract the Brora 2003 and then the set is £150 inc.

For international shipping please email or WhatsApp me to organise.

Places are limited, so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Please pay: https://www.paypal.me/ecwhisky including your name, address, & Festive 22 in the notes (Please use friends and family if possible).

You can also pay by bank transfer, contact me for the details, or using REVOLUT @ecwhisky.

If this is your first East Coast Whisky tasting, please also email your name, address, & contact telephone number to dram@eastcoastwhisky.com Let me know if you want to join our WhatsApp group, which gives you early access and discounts to these tastings, tours, and live events.

I'm really looking forward to sharing some beautiful celebratory drams with you. It's been quite the year for all of us, in every aspect of life, so it's really great to come together as part of this East Coast Whisky community!!

Cheers,

Frederick

The Ultimate ULTRA TALISKER Tasting - Friday 25th November

Wow!! Life is short and full of uncertainty, but these beauties guarantee some of the best flavours from the world's top selling whisky.

Talisker 21 distilled in 1957.

Talisker 50 year old blend distilled at least in 1952.

Talisker Secret Stills 20yo 1986.

1972 Talisker Berry Bros & Rudd *2 excellent versions.

The sherried 1981 Talisker 20, amazing, and its cousin from 1982.

The 1985, wow!!

1979 Prima & Ultima 41 year old.

The already legendary oldest Talisker 44

The DETAILS

The tasting will be held on ZOOM, from 7.30-10pm GMT on Friday 25th November (If you can’t make that time, a recording will be available afterwards).

The tasting is informative, yet also informal, with everyone able to join in, and to share their whisky enthusiasm rather than their ego’s!!

The 15ml drams will be mailed to you, 1st class signed for (in a padded box) at least a week before the tasting. International shipping is available upon request. You will also receive some tasting clues, the running order, and the Zoom link in the days before the evening.

The core set is £280 this gets you seven drams, you can then also add in any combination, the TALISKER 1957 21 Cadenhead for £65, the TALISKER 1979 Prima & Ultima for £80, and/or the TALISKER 44 for £80.

Alternatively a full set is £495, this price reflects the cost of these legendary unicorn bottles & postage/packaging & preparing the tasting, and is far less than you would pay for these drams in a bar!!

Apart from the odd Gordon & Macphail, this is as good as it gets for one of the greatest distilleries on the planet, I wager such an opportunity will not come your way again!! I cannot wait! We started 2022 with the Brora vertical and now we are seeing it out with this.
