I got this email about a whisky tasting in Dallas. Macallan, the makers of finest single malt scotch (Scottish whisky) are sponsoring a tasting event of their whisky collection.
I am no whisky enthusiast but the event seemed a good saturday night timepass so I signed up Pavi and myself. The event was held at the 'Edison's' hall in downtown Dallas. We arrived at around 8:00 to a hall filled with about 300-400 people and were handed out a coin token for the first round of whisky (a Macallan 10 year). The Dallas Macallan rep Jay the gave a presentation about the history of Macallan which was established in Scottish highlands in 1824. He went on to tell us about the process, the company, Scotland in detail with a pinch of humor sprinkled here and there. The presentation stops time to time with a Macallan logo where they distribute whisky glasses of increasing aging time.
We tasted whisky that was aged 10, 12, 15, 17 and 18 years and each time the screen would go on to show notable events in those years i.e. 1999, 1997, 1994, 1992 and 1991. The tasting was good and the presentation was really interesting. In the end we got a tasting glass to take home as a souvenir and enough whisky to be tipsy!
Not a bad sat'day nite afterall :D
