Whisky Forum - I'm leading a small tasting for a friend on Tuesday

Quaich1

A friend of mine is fairly new to the single malt world though he has tried the Macallan 12 that he bought in the USA during a vacation away from Canada.

I'm going to provide him with a dram of the following 3 single malts and take him through the steps of understanding nose, taste and finish in a more formal way so he can better appreciate the aromas and flavors.

This is what I propose to serve:

1. Tomintoul 21

2. Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve

3. Bowmore Devil's Cask 10 Year First Edition

Not too bad I think to give him a feel for some more tasty drams that he would not normally have occasion to try.

Also, I think he has a pretty good teacher Wink

The tasting just finished and was a complete success. My friend really enjoyed the Devil's Casks 10 Year 1st release. He also seemed quite impressed with the Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve. It was an enjoyable few hours.
