My Whisky Lady posts kept speed with lots of activities in September… including celebrating the 300th post!

The month was supposed to welcome the return of all three tasting groups… However my Jakarta trip derailed our Bombay Malt & Cigar night… oops!

The Whisky Ladies of Mumbai enjoyed a delightful trio of contrasting whiskies:

• Sweden – Spirit of Hven Tycho’s Star 41.8% – Oooh baby! 
• Speyside – Linkwood 25 year 43% (G+MP) – Lovely dram 
• Japan – Akashi Red Blended Whisky 40% – Apple cider whisky

Our original tasting group returned after a two-month hiatus to explore:

• Glenmorangie experiment – Mumbai’s greedy angels…
• Wolfburn (Batch 1) 46% – Promising start…
• Dailuaine (2002/2013) 46% – Delightful and delicious

Our Nordic Whiskies – Explorers Edition began its journey with:

1. Sweden’s Smögen Single Cask 7/2011 4 year 57.3% – Superb and left us wanting more!
2. Sweden’s Smögen Sherry Project 1:4 57.2% – An interesting experiment with Sherry…
3. Sweden’s Box Whisky The Festival 2015 54.5% –
4. Sweden’s Box Whisky Shareholders 2016, 3 year 52% – Privelege to partake

Which prompted publishing a new European whiskies page…

These lovelies were followed by tasting notes from another miniatures session featuring:

• Tomatin Legacy 43% – Good to try but… not my dram
• MacPhail’s Collection Orkney 8 year 43% (Highland Park) – Nice to welcome back a solid Highland Park!
• TWE Covent Garden Reserve Edition No 1 – Speyside 10 year, Sherry Butt, Bottle No 240, 51.6% – Fabulous!! 
• TWE Covent Garden Reserve Edition No 2 – Islay NAS, Hogshead Cask, Bottle No 288, 55.2% – Well represents an Islay style

Plus I shared insight behind how we organize our tasting groups – “Whisky clubs revealed!” And a wee prattle on “Whisky nosing…” plus a revisit of a yummy Paul John Single Cask Peated.

With all my travel and work focus in the next couple of months, behind the scenes had a flurry of advance informal tastings with more miniatures plus made a dent into the Canadian collection. Notes on these experiences will hopefully keep Whisky Lady moderately active!
