There is some serious discussion going on here on table 1 with David having to stop frequently for a dram or two. All this delicious single malt whisky "yummy" and a cracking night to enjoy the debate and the dram.
Master Gavin chairing a spirited group and offering pathetic excuses for another top up because there is something floating inside his glass!. Come on Gavin "bottoms up!!" and on with the next Bruichladdich.
A business meeting Mainly Malts style! We only have one agenda item at all our "meetings" and it is of course the medicinal benefits of single malt whisky, "honest!!" and I'm sure chairperson Paul will agree.
Glen Keith in fine form on table 4. They did finish all their Islay drams , and a few more, before the evening was over. Much to Keith's disappointment its great to see converts at the end of the evening with partners now convinced of the joys of whisky.
Mr Smith, trying to look at ease having had a dram or two spilt into his lap!! what a dreadful waste of a dram. In our whisky taste guide I don't remember recommending throwing your dram into your lap!! I think it was just a ruse to get a top up!
With four Bruichladdich Islay malts down and a further four to go, Pat is feeling a tad peckish and wanting his buffet. Alf is deciding which is his favourite so far, so will have to try them all over again! "its hard training to be a single malt whisky connoisseur"
A very "happy" American lass who went on to survive her first Islay single malts tasting event. I think the baby sitter may well get called into action for the next tasting with a smile like that!!
Donald in full flow and showing that you don't really have to be from north of the boarder to know about single malt Islay whisky. "What a bonza bloke!"
Table 2 discussing the finer points of whisky classification with Donald? Actually, its really an excuse for Sandie & Gavin to compare their kilts to his and for Jeanette to check out those knees or could it be the other way round!! "does he or doesn't he???"
Lively debate with the renowned whisky buff "M. Y. Self" and members of table 1 who could not get rid of the old bugger once he got started! I think the debate was about the merits and delights of the MMcD Tobermory single malt "yummy"
