October was the 1st month that I juggled a new full-time ‘regular’ job that immediately plunged me into a demanding yet incredibly interesting project. And yet, what is a Whisky Lady to do but keep up with tastings too!

Thankfully it was a ‘slow’ month with only the Whisky Ladies and Original club’s having full tasting sessions. To keep things interesting, there were also were a few minis sessions too!

Our Whisky Ladies celebrated Diwali in all our finery and accompanied the festivities with Asia focused whiskies:

• From Japan – Hakushu 43%,
• From Bhutan – K5 40% vs Misty Peak 40%,
• And back to Japan Nikka From the Barrel 51.4% vs Super Nikka Whisky 43% (revival version)

Whereas our original club had a remarkable rye focused evening:

• Cody Road Rye (Iowa)
• Cascadia Rye (Português Port Barrels) 43.5% (Washington)
• High West Whiskey Double Rye…
