Dram of the night was Wire Works Virgin Oak, our mega exclusive – huge 🙏 to White Peak Distillery for giving us a bottle to try before it is released. We think it will sell like hot cakes so definitely watch their website and socials for a release date.
Three bottles were from members’ travels and thanks to Kate for presenting the Balblair and Ian’s sourcing of a distillery-only Clynelish expression.
Hemil won our customary giveaway, this time Paul John nosing glass and coasters, kindly donated by Ben from The Spirit Specialist when he presented at our International Drams night.
Staff at the micklegate SOCIAL were super attentive as usual and we might have introduced one to the world of whisky!
