November tasting - Battle of the Sherry Bombs

For our November tasting, we had hoped to bring in a whisky rep, but it seems everyone is getting booked up as we approach the end of the year. The good news is we're already locking in some exciting guest presenters for next year!

In the meantime, we've put together a lineup that should make for a very interesting evening.

🥃 November Tasting – Battle of the Sherry Bombs

For those unfamiliar with the term, a sherry bomb is a whisky matured in sherry-seasoned casks, imparting rich, often fruity, spicy and decadent flavours.

We'll be putting five Scottish sherry bombs head-to-head, comparing their character, exploring their differences, and ultimately rating them to see which one comes out on top.

🥃 The Lineup (in no particular order):

• Berry Bros. & Rudd Classic Sherry
• Bunnahabhain Stiùireadair
• The Glenrothes Whisky Maker's Cut
• SMWS 108.41 – A Cornucopia of Curiosities
• Tamdhu Batch Strength

Whether you're a dedicated sherry cask enthusiast or simply enjoy a flavoursome dram, this should be a fantastic opportunity to compare some very different expressions side by side.
