Tasting #16 Recap: 2017 Award Winners

The Saratoga Whisk(e)y Club had Tasting #16 on two nights, March 14 and March 28, 2018. The focus of the evening was Award-Winning whiskies from 2017. We had a very large turnout of 30 people for the two tastings. We had four different award-winning whiskies at our tasting, a Scotch, an Irish, a Bourbon and a Rye.  Here is a list of what we tasted:

• We started with a Kelso Pilsner or IPA
• Glenmorangie Astar – Ranked #2 Whiskey of the Year by Whiskey Advocate Magazine
• Redbreast 12 Cask Strength – A continual winner in its category by the World Whisky Awards
• Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, Batch B517 – Ranked #1 Whiskey of the Year by Whiskey Advocate Magazine
• Kentucky Owl 11 Year Rye – Figured this needed an award as well for 2017! 

Overall it was a fantastic tasting with lots of special whiskies!
