Past Tasting Events
Ardbeg and Mateo's Malts: A Lot to Celebrate!
The Ardbeg Distillery was saved from demolition in 1997 when Glenmorangie bought it, and on June 16, 1997, the mashing was first re-started, with whisky flowing through distillation on June 28, 1997. Mateo's Malts will be celebrating FIVE years of tastings, and throwing in our June birthdays, there is a lot joy and whisky that needs to be shared!
We will be breaking out the famous ~16yr old Airigh Nam Beist, a feisty Supernova, and a recent Traigh Bhan 19yr, the new Eureka! Committee Release, and finally, the famous Alligator with the extra charred casks!
A Botanical and Barley Bonanza!
Bruichladdich and their awesome Global Brand Ambassador Frazer Matthews!
The Dalmore Distillery Delights
Through our whisky maker friends at The Dalmore, we have secured some exclusive expressions for this event. These whiskies take the usual chocolate and citrus house style to totally different flavor and strength levels that any Dalmore fan would not want to miss. Port cask for 20yrs, Amarone and Port cask finishes on the 17yr, and a Marsala wine cask finish are wonderful. We will have a 15yr core whisky for comparison and Alex's delicious 12yr old-fashioned with cinnamon sticks!
Spring Break with Springbank!
How about a spring break trip to Campbeltown, Scotland, and the ever-popular Springbank Distillery?!!! These whiskies journeyed back with Mateo after his week at Whisky School, and all are fabulous! We have peated and unpeated whisky, lots of different cask types, and we will be sharing the insider knowledge of this hands-on distillery.
