Scotchfest 2010
Saturday was Scotchfest 2010 at our place and we had a great turnout. Friends from all over came to partake in the festivities – including Dayantha and Krissy!! We had a total of 11 different whiskeys to taste and some were much better than others. Here’s the lineup:
- Glenrothes
- Glenlivet 18
- Clynelish
- Aberlour
- Glenmorangie
- Auchentoshan
- Glenkinchie
- Talisker
- Bowmore
- Coal Ila
- Laphroaig
Each participant got a shotglass labeled with his or her name and the different whiskeys were poured and tasted one by one with some food in between.
Meanwhile, Jack was snackin’ on cheese and crackers, watching “Up”, and feeding carrots to his pal Koa.
We served salami and cheese as well as smoked salmon with creme fraiche as appetizers. Then the main item was the prime rib sandwiches with sauteed onion, horseradish aioli, and arugula on an Acme roll. When eaten with some salty Kettle potato chips, it was perfect.
Everyone had their favorite Scotch of the night and pretty much everyone did not appreciate Talisker, which most said tasted like Band-Aid. Nice. By the end of the night, some were drinking more of their favorite while others broke open the 100-proof Captain Morgan and Coke. I think everyone had a good time. Most left before 12 am but some of us were still going until 4 am…including me. Good times…
OK…let’s try this again. Click here for photos.
