Humble Beginnings...

Like more than a few good things in life, my whisky passion started with a dram, a dram of whisky on my wedding day. It was nothing fancy mind, just an aptly named “Founders Reserve”.  From there I dived deep into the whisky ocean, and went - like a lot of you I imagine - on a wonderful journey of discovery.  A journey not just of taste, places, and special moments in time...but of whisky people and their stories.

​

Whisky is a wonderful medicine. When treated with respect, it brings people together, and encourages community, sharing and enjoyment.  Whisky stimulates creativity and its appreciation. It can open up the heart and stir the soul. 


From just the three simple ingredients of barley, water, and yeast, and then through a romantic industrial - or even alchemical process - beautiful spirit emerges to be filled into casks, and rests there for time and wood to work their magic.  Later, sometimes much later, design & bottling occurs. Only then comes the special moment for us all to taste and discover this water of life.  

​

East Coast Whisky represents the continuation of this journey, into sharing with you what whisky is out there, the experiences and stories it brings, and the people it meets along its way.

​

There will be blogging, tastings, whisky meals, festivals, cask bottling, and more as we journey to maturation.

​

Our focus is coastal and local, as myself and the team are based in East Lothian and Edinburgh, Scotland. Yet we are open to all who form this global whisk(e)y community, near and far.

​

So welcome, pour yourself a #dramo'the day and enjoy!!!

That GLEN GARIOCH tasting pt.1 - Friday 29th July

Time to celebrate one of my favourite distilleries, Glen Garioch. Hailing from Old Meldrum in the East Highland Region, I particularly enjoy its previously lightly peated style. I have so many great bottles to share with you, that rather than a 22 dram tasting, here are the first 11!!

The DRAMS

Glen Garioch 10 - Eighties Bottling!!


1988 Glen Garioch 19 SMWS 19.43 - A wee cracker!!


1989 Glen Garioch 23 Jack Weiber's Passenger Liners Series - Rare & interesting.


1991 Glen Garioch 23 Sansibar - Yum!!


1989 Glen Garioch 25 The Whisky Agency

1991 Glen Garioch 27 Càrn Mòr


1990 Glen Garioch 30 Càrn Mòr


1986 Glen Garioch 35 Douglas Laing


1978 Glen Garioch 33 for Milroy's


1978 Glen Garioch 40 Hand Filled


Glen Garioch 1971 for ODDBINS


...All of these are solid, some are stellar (and this is only part 1!!)


The Details


The tasting will be held on ZOOM, from 7.30-10pm GMT on Friday 29th July (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 £148 and get 10 drams apart from the 1971 Glen Garioch, or, pay £190 for them all!!

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

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


If this is your first East Coast Whisky tasting, please also email your name, address, & contact telephone number to dram@eastcoastwhisky.com


I've been looking forward to this one for quite a while, and just wanted to make sure I had the right bottles for you. I can't wait to share this great whisky with you. Places are limited so please book early.


Cheers,


Frederick

East Coast Whisky Clan Founder & Chief!!!
