You need not be kilted to attend!

Just got home from the Whisky DC tasting this evening. This time it was a blind tasting. We were shown the 6 whiskies before hand, then had to guess which was which for the tasting.

I did poorly, only correctly guessing the Ardbeg 10 (Islay). The other selections were Bladnoch 11--1986 (Lowland), The Balvenie Doublewood 12 (Highland, Speyside), Macallan Fine Oak 10 (Highland, Speyside), Springbank 10 (Campbelltown, Argyll), and Dalwhinnie 15 (Highland, Speyside).

I had previously had 2, the Dalwhinnie 15 (from the previous Whisky DC event), and The Balvenie Doublewood 12 (my brother had a bottle of this one, and I have a bottle of The Balvenie Single Barrel 15, the better of the 2, though they are both excellent)

They were all quite good, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be a toss-up between the Ardbeg 10 and the Springbank 10. Since I already have a fair selection of Islays, the Springbank goes on my purchase list.

I was the only X-marker in attendance and did not get any photos (camera won't fit in the sporran). Maybe next time.
