Tasting #65: Ex-Red Wine Barrique and First Fill Sherry
On Wednesday, December 9th, the Saratoga Whiskey Club had its 65th tasting! This was a very unique tasting in that we focused on specific finishes and first fill Sherry. The tasting started with three different whiskies finished in ex-red wine barriques followed by three Sherry bombs that were fully matured in first fill Sherry. It was really delicious. Here is what we tasted:
- SMWS 9.174 ‘Strawberry Jalapeno Ice Cream’ – Glen Grant 15 Year
- SMWS 66.161 ‘Chateau du pork scratching’ Ardmore 13 Year
- SMWS 95.37 ‘Adventurous African safari’ Auchriosk 7 Year
