Bell's Fraternity of Connoisseurs This tasting - Bell's specific - is very unique in that you cover all the 'types' of whiskies from Scotland. Alan Schuman knows his brand and has been involved with Bell's for a long time. |
Johnnie Walker Journey of Taste The Journey of Taste is a tasting that looks at Johnnie Walker Black Label and some of its key Single Malts and Grains used to give the whisky its unique complexity and depth. Multi-layered as Mickey says! |
Forbes at Good Food & Wine Show Hector in my opinion is one of the most knowledgeable whisky enthusiasts in South Africa. The amount of tastings and good work he does for Forbes does not go unnoticed. As part of the Picardi Rebel stand at the Good Food and Wine Show, Hector brought some of the big gun whiskies out. |
The Glenlivet (Arranged by Pernod-Ricard) It was a very enjoyable evening with Jonathan and his guests. Jonathan had some snaps from his last visit to the distillery (the Pagoda for the geese is a must see!). |
Peat Monster from Compass Box (De Toren Spirits) The Peat Monster will be available at the FNB Whisky Live Festival, so for those that missed the launch, do not fret! If you like a pungent, peaty whisky - the Peat Monster most definitely lives up to its name. |
Whisky Academy - Morrison Bowmore Once again, Jonathan with all his travels and experience put on a great tasting for a tight group of whisky enthusiasts. Contact him if you want to join this group (www.whiskyacademy.co.za) |
Glenfiddich Expressions Tasting Glenfiddich is the world's number 1 Single malt in terms of sales. Jason, the Brand Ambassador for SA, as some of us know loves the finer things of life. In his own words: “at a tender age I was introduced to whisky, cigars and good food!”. It shows for he knows what he's talking about. |
