Tasting #57: Track Tasting

On Sunday, August 2nd, the Saratoga Whiskey Club had its 57th tasting. It was our annual track tasting, but because of COVID, we were unable to host the tasting at the Saratoga Racetrack. We used a member’s backyard to host the tasting on Zoom. It was a really great tasting of whiskies from the Highlands of Scotland. A lot of fun.

Here is what we tasted:

Deanston 18 Year Bourbon Finish
SMWS Beachcomber 7 Year Blended Whisky
Old Pulteney 21 Year from Gordon & MacPhail
Highland Park 24 Year from Gordon & MacPhail
Glengoyne 20 Year from Old Particular
SMWS 66.162 ‘A true harmony of flavors’ Ardmore 13 Year
SMWS 68.34 ‘Roasty-toasty-tasty’ Blair Athol 10 Year Highland Festival Release

32 members were online using Zoom for this really fun track tasting.
