Todd and Greg did an excellent job of preparing a multi-course meal which we all enjoyed! Our annual December gathering is growing steadily and we hope to see more club members as time goes on. Of course we did not have a tasting but I did write down some notes on a whisky I have had before.
Alyson was not able to make the meeting, unfortunately, and missed out on the bag of goodies Todd brought especially for her. We tried out the pictured stuff. I will call it stuff. I believe the bag was left on the table at the end of the evening, never to be seen again. It was almost full as well.
*Laphroaig Cairdeas 51.3% ABV
-smelled of peat smoke with slight sweet
-tasted peaty with sweet in the middle
-peat seemed to offset the bitter at the end of the port taste
-with water smelled smokey wood
-tasted peppery with wood/peat
-trailed peat smoke
Water took away the sweetness but dulled the smokiness and made it almost a Speyside (but with peat smoke).
