February 2023 - Morrison Distillers
This month we invited the wonderful Maree Chisolm brand ambassador from Morrison Distillers, to bring her favourite drams from their collection of brands - and boy did she deliver!
At the start of the tasting Maree handed out slips of paper for us all to fill out our tasting notes for each dram with a promise of a bottle from Morrison for the winner of the most ‘interesting’ tasting notes. We loved this touch, as not only did it encourage us to really scrutinise what we were tasting, but also encouraged us to chat to each other and share our thoughts - loved it!
The first dram of the evening was an Old Perth 12 Year Old which was matured in Sherry Casks, which as you might of guessed was full of beautifully rich sherry flavours. We then moved on to the (not yet released!!!) Carn Mor Craigellachie 12 Year Old Guyana Rum finish, which was also sampled alongside a super special ex Black Tot rum sample which was distilled pre-1970s, which we all lost our collective minds over! The third and final dram of the night was the deliciously sweet and smokey Mac-Talla Mara - gorgeous!
