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.

Glen is usually behind the scenes making sure that the Hotchillee Ride Captains and event participants have fully functioning bicycles to ride but he occasionally makes an appearance in front of the camera to share his wisdom. If he’s not fixing or building bikes he’ll be out riding in #SweetSussex. If you want to know anything about Cyclocross, Glen is the man to ask.
