First 30 mins is focused on the Whisky Tasting and then feel free to stay for some informal fireside chat. Special guest is Ian Whittingham, co-founder of Sigma Sport.
Ian was one of the “Originals” on the LONDON-PARIS, and has ridden and completed 10 consecutive editions. The only one to have done so. In those days Sigma was a small shop that has over the years become the worlds leading independent store brand.
We will be tasting a classic and one of my top 10’s, The Talisker 10 year old. Currently available from:
Amazon . £30
Sainsburys £30
Master of Malt £36
Normal RRP is £44 so there are some good deals out there. Be aware there is a Talisker without an age statement (normally about £5.00 cheaper than the 10 year old). The “no age” Talisker itself is also very good.
For the newcomers, you don’t need any whisky knowledge but just a passion to learn a little more. I know of a few people who join for the craic - and drink beer, we of course tolerate this in the spirit of slowly converting them! The formal tasting takes place from 6-6:30 PM and then is followed by a fireside chat.
Information about the whisky of choice for this session to be announced soon!
Zoom link will be sent to you via your RSVP.
See y’all on Friday!
