BBQ sauce - a whisky flavour adventure - Thursday 28th August

In the culinary spirit of all this hot weather we’ve been having, we’ve decided to offer a special online whisky tasting dedicated to bbq sauce & condiment flavours!! Yes it’s a little different, but each of the following drams really echoes some special flavours we know so well. Also if any participant guesses the ones I chose correctly, they will win an extra special dram of 1975 Talisker 34yo!!

The Details

So this tasty tasting will be held online, on Zoom, from 7.45pm on Thursday 28th August. It will last approximately 2 hours. We also record the session so even if you can’t make then, you will be able to watch back at your leisure.

To join in all you have to do is message us, either through WhatsApp, on Instagram, or email dram@eastcoastwhisky. We will explain how to pay, and you get to choose 15ml, 20ml or even 50ml samples. These will be shipped to you safely. Then we will send you a zoom link for the event, and the running order in advance of the evening. NB if you sign up for this and the Tryptych 3 tasting, you get £50 off.

These evenings are essentially at cost, so are a great way to try whiskies without buying bottles or paying bar prices. We also have a large eastcoastwhisky whisky community, with occasional live events and tours, so a great way to go further on your whisky journey. Hope you can join!

Cheers,
