Scotch things Happy Gnome

Tasting at the Happy Gnome was very fun and what a deal. 11 whiskies for $11.54. Here is the line-up Scottish Leader (the weak sister of the group), Bunnahabhain 18, Bunnahabhain 12, Bunnahabhain 25, Tobermory 10, Ledaig 10, Black Bottle, Deanston 12, Deanston 30, Tobermory 15, and Drumgray Highland Cream Liquor. The best of the evening were Bunnahabhain 18 and 25, Deanston 30, Tobermory 15, and the Ledaig 10. This was a good tasting. The date of the tasting was 25 February.

Scotch things February

Merlin's Rest first Thursday of the Month and Eileen and I host the Scotch whisky tasting. On the menu is Macallan 12, The Glenlivet 12, Glenfiddich 12, and Balvenie doublewood 12.
These are found in most bars, at least the first three. Old classics and some of the most popular single malts. Some people scoffed at the selection, however, they are classics for a reason. All of them are well made, tasty, wonderful nose, and well balanced.
