The first taster in our evening with Joe Duffy brought us Green Spot Single Pot Still Irish Whiskey. The nose was very sweet with hints of green apple, bourbon and honey. It had great texture and mouthfeel with flavours of toffee, floral notes, and apples. A robust feel on the tongue, with a warm smooth finish that lasted a bit, but not too long. A great way to start what became an amazing evening of whiskey, learning and sharing with friends.

The Glenrothes 18 Year Old
Matured only is sherry seasoned oak casks, a high proportion first fill. Bottled at natural colour, with flavours of ginger, rose water, pears and vanilla.
Glenburgie 1964
Nothing like a 46-year-old unicorn to kick off the Club’s new year, and to celebrate 18 years of some damn fine whisky gone before. Unreal to ponder, when this bottle was laid down in a remote dusty Scottish warehouse , most of our parents were only 7 years old!
Glenburgie ’64 was dry, fruity, oaky and such a lovely old timer. Just a few sips of this mellow, subtly sweet dinosaur simply was not enough. A delicate dram for the ages – what a treat! Cheers to 18 years ETKW and to many more fine nectars still to be explored!
Glenfarclas 40
The third of four amazing 18-year Anniversary tasters! 40 years and counting…one more bottle to go!
Benriach 30
Benriach 30 certainly went over well as another 18-Year Anniversary taster, with some Club members voting it their favourite of the night! It was a pretty hard choice to select just one…hard to believe the evening had 2 other even older beautiful drams on offer!
Whisky Sponge Glentauchers 18 Year Old
The youngest of 4 fantastic bottles sampled for our much-anticipated 18-Year Anniversary. Had to have at least one whisky distilled 18 years ago for this amazing milestone! Cheers ETKW!

Linkwood 37
The Club was honoured to go back to its original roots with a Linkwood distillery direct release representing bottle #300, the very same distillery from which we sampled that all-important bottle #1. A true full circle journey, Linkwood 37 was not only nostalgic, but downright delicious. Cheers to a fantastic run ETKW, 300 bottles in under 18 (amazing) years! Sourced from a private collection.
Fettercairn 18
Bottle #299 did not disappoint, although a little pricey at $477 , sourced from Alberta.
