September’s Whisky Lady tastings was a mixed month as one club didn’t meet and another did but it was a rare session I missed due to travel! Naturally I augmented with other experiences and shared the final set of tasting notes from our remarkable July which had seven different sessions!

The gents from the Bombay Malt & Cigar club met late August with an unusual selection of three Single Grains and two Indian whiskies:

• Girvan 8 years (2006/2014) Cask 532398 46% (Berrys’)
• Strathclyde 25 year (1990/2016) DL11335 51.5% (Douglas Laing’s Old Particular)
• Invergordon 28 year (1987/2015) DL11004 56.5% (Douglas Laing’s Old Particular)
• Sula’s Eclipse Blended Whisky 42.8% & Rampur 43%

Our whisky ladies had a lovely Sunday sundowner with this quartet:

• Mortlach NAS 49% – Sweet on the nose, apricot wood on palate… bit of a disappointment
• Arran Amarone Cask Finish 50% – Think pink summer blush, perfect afternoon…
