What's in your glass tonight...?

Beautiful Glen Scotia single cask.
I’ve been leaning towards adding more single casks into the collection myself…

This Westland hand-fill was right in my wheelhouse. Scottish peated barley distillate matured in a 2nd-fill Garryana oak cask. They are doing releases with local Washington state peat but they still have quite a bit of Bairds heavily peated juice in their stocks.

In fact, Saturday I’m going to their Peat week tasting, where they are releasing a Scottish peat vs Washington peat whisky.

Should be a blast.

Now that was a fun evening… Westland does a great job with engagement and their whisky. Local Washington peat was an 8 year in first fill and the Scottish peated was 6 years in 3 different casks - Washington wine, a light toast/ heavy char, and heavy char light toast. I leaned towards the Scottish peat which was different from what I thought going in.

4 drink tickets to get neat pours or mixed drinks with the peated whiskies as the base for $10. Fun evening.., hope the post makes sense.

Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve

A little weak at 44% but some good flavors… just wish for more.

I don’t have many Irish whiskeys, but the Yellow Spot hits the spot.

Last pour.

Took the opportunity to visit the Teeling distillery last month. I hadn’t had a Teeling prior, and came away a fan.

They had a pot still whiskey matured in Patagonia Beechwood that I really enjoyed. The story was that it was going to be in their Wonders of Wood series but too much leaked.

Their standard pot still is a lovely drop! I can see why they'd have such a problem with ullage!

Bainbridge Island Distillery
Two Islands
Local to me up here near Seattle… they take their Battle Point straight wheat whiskey and finish in small Mizunara casks.

Super welcoming people… great to visit.
