The Grand Epic Tasting of Calabasas

I've never led a private tasting like this before and probably will never have the whisky opportunity to do it again.  It was a dreamy Thursday night.

The host then brought out his 20yo AD Rattray Bowmore because what we really needed was a baker's dozen.  I got home at 2am, then "slept" for four hours, woke up, and started prepping for another event (bachelor party!).  I'm just coming to grips with how incredible this experience was.

  1. How was the Inchgower, thinking of picking this one up? Interested in your thoughts, thanks.

    1. Hella yummy. Lots of clean crisp thick sherry. I bought one for another event and one for myself.

      Oh yes, and I reviewed it last month.

  2. So, this is it? This was the report? A teaser expires after 24h.

    1. That's it for now, but not forever. A review or a few are coming soon. Because I had to drive from Calabasas to Long Beach at 2am, I didn't drink these at the event. For me the pleasure was the presentation, the ability to share these whiskies, and to see so many people very happy. The funny thing was that the Glencadam 21 was the favorite for a number of the attendees. The Macallan, Inchgower, and Springbank were also favorites.
