Coleburn Vertical Tasting - Another Closed Distillery!! - Wednesday 14th September

A stunning SOLD OUT 10 dram line-up from another special closed distillery, the perfect way to celebrate Summer!!

Coleburn was founded in 1897 and closed in 1985. It has a lovely sweet and fruity Speyside style, which is well worth discovering and celebrating. A 10 dram Coleburn vertical tasting has never been attempted before online, so this nicely follows on from the Brora. Convalmore, Millburn, and Glenlochy ones, that we have already enjoyed!!

The Drams

Behold the first five Coleburn drams in our selection, including the stupendous 38 year old Gordon & Macphail 1981 Private Collection bottling (which was the first bottling in the Private Collection series).

Here is the only official Coleburn release, the 21 Rare Malts bottling. Also the Coleburn 1972 G&M Rare Old, which is a personal favourite, and then the 1967 Douglas Laing bottling too!!

The Details

The tasting will be held on ZOOM, from 7.30-10pm GMT on Wednesday 14th September (If you can’t make that time, a recording will be available afterwards).

The tasting is informative, yet informal, with everyone able to join in, and 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 notes, the running order, and the Zoom link in the days before the event.

There are two prices for this event. Either pay £195 and get 9 drams (apart from the ultra rare 1981 Private Collection 38 yr old Coleburn), or it is £245 for the complete set.

NB the price reflects the cost of the bottles & packaging, and not what you would pay in a bar!!

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

You can also pay by bank transfer, please contact me for the details.

I've been putting this tasting together for a while now, and Im really happy to be able to share the 1981 Private Collection bottle with you, it is very special. I think this tasting will be as memorable as the other closed distillery tastings we have hosted in the last few months. Hope to see you there!!

The evening will comprise a special locally sourced 6 course tasting dinner, a welcome cocktail and a tasting of the following 10 drams, all distilled in the 1960's. The food is amazing, I attended a Brora/Clynelish dinner here, and was just blown away!!

The all inclusive price is £250 for the above drams, and 6 courses, and what promises to be a bit of a once in a whisky lifetime experience!!
