Drew and Rebecca hosted the evening for the third straight year at their beautiful home with a freshly remodeled kitchen. Well, part of it anyway. The wood feature is great! Donna was kind enough to post some video of Todd, master of ceremonies, cutting the haggis on our Facebook page for the club. Slacking as I am right now (just posted two for December and a week late on this one) I am posting my notes on the evening's selection of the water of life.
*Timrous Beastie Blended Malt 47% ABV (Highland Whiskies)
-smelled a tinge rubbery
-tasted rubbery with pepper and slight sweet
-tinge of smoke
-with water smelled lighter rubber
-tasted oaky with slight sweet
-trailed oak
For a Blended Malt (a blend of single malts, no other grain whiskies) this was disappointing. I always point to Johnny Walker Green as a barometer for Blended Malts. It has much more than this whisky delivered.
