Berry Bros & Rudd Tweet Tasting

Another fabulous tweet tasting with some lovely whisky bottled by Berry Bros & Rudd and ran in conjunction with Steve from The Whisky Wire. We thought though, that we’d take a different slant with our notes this time. Rather than add our musings on the whisky, we thought we’d collect everyones tweets (thanks to Billy for the link) and create a Wordle for each whisky so that you can see all the tweets about a particular expression of whisky. Let us know what you think about this concept! (Each of the images are clickable so that you can read all of the text!)…

Jon’s brother in-law Nick was invited to take part in the latest Tweet Tasting from The Whisky Wire so we thought we’d get him to pen some words for our blog. Here’s his notes in what we hope will be the first of many guest blog posts from Nick:…

The focus of our mission this time was a new bottle out by Glen Garioch which was bottled excessively for the Whisky Shop! There are only 187 bottles of the Glen Garioch 1978 and as it retails at a shade under £400 this was probably going to be our only experience of it. Our thoughts are here:

World Whisky Day [27.03.12]

Well it was a mad rush; leaving work at 16:00, driving the 28 miles back to Birmingham, quick change, pick whisky up, train to town, Mac Donalds perfect pre-taste meal?) and at the Whisky Shop by 18:00 just in time for our first event! We’d organised this tasting with Craig, manager of Birmingham’s Whisky Shop, around the concept of trying whisky blind.
