Where has the year gone?! Tasting at Cindy and Doug's 4/29/2017

     Well it would be tough to hide the fact that I have not posted anything in a few weeks - about 18 of 'em. Yeah that's  four months. It has been a busy summer. Apparently not for any of my tasting notes though. 
     Cindy and Doug were gracious enough to host our tribe of whisky carousers for an evening of fun and food. Thank you again! Sorry it is four months late. 
     There were excellent vittles  prepared and a few stories shared. The evening's conversations ranged from substitute teaching to travels (possibly travails) in Ireland and Scotland to Springbank Whisky School and Highland Games. The tasting for the night was Sherried Whiskies. Here is what I tasted:

Edradour Natural Cask Strength
     The tasting notes for this expression can be found in our 2016 Christmas gathering at Cindy and  Doug's.
