Todd and I had once again been invited to present the whiskies for the tasting the night before the Games. The Hilltop Restaurant provided their room downstairs as usual. We had a piper to start the ceremonies. There was even a rep from Highland Brewing Company on hand.
On the schedule were Macallan Fine Oak 10yr, Macallan Sherry Oak 12yr, Tobermorey 20yr (aged and bottled by Montgomerie'), Cutty Sark Prohibition and Black Grouse. Of the five, I had never tasted the Tobermorey or the Cutty Sark Prohibition. The Macallan 10yr I had never taken notes on, until earlier that week, even though there was a bottle on my shelf with about one centimeter left. Black Grouse we had last year at this event and my notes are there. So I have included notes here for the ones I tasted.
Thanks to all who bid and won in the charity auction for K9s For Warriors! Once again we appreciated the support in our efforts to support the work that is done for our veterans.

*Cutty Sark Prohibition 50% ABV Blended Scotch Whisky
-smelled oak peppery
-tasted the same with no sweetness
-with water smelled a tinge rubbery
-tasted rubbery with pepper

Very light taste even though it is 50% ABV. This is something a bit better without water though harsh for a blend.
