The Balvenie Whisky Tasting at Trinity Hall
Posted: November 4th, 2009 | Author: Jamie Phelps | Filed under: All Posts | No Comments »Last night was another fantastic evening of whisky at Trinity Hall. Great time with great friends: Bill, Riggs, Jim, and Christie. The pictures are a bit crap because I took them with my iPhone in low lighting. Need to consider getting a proper camera…
I won a sample bottle of the 21 year old (pictured) for telling a Scottish joke. 
All told, we tasted seven (!) different Balvenie whiskies:
All told, we tasted seven (!) different Balvenie whiskies: - 10 Year Old Founder’s Reserve
- 12 Year Old Doublewood
- 15 Year Old Single Barrel
- 17 Year Old Rum Cask
- 17 Year Old Madeira Cask
- 21 Year Old PortWood
- 30 Year Old
It sounds cliché and obvious, but the Thirty was simply amazing. (I don’t usually like really old scotches.) The Single Barrel and Madeira were my two non-obscenely-priced expressions of the night. I’m fairly certain that if Marius Donnelly and all the fine folks at Trinity Hall continue to host such great tastings I’m going to go broke. Cheers to Marius and all the Trinity Hall staff as well as Andy Weir of The Balvenie for leading a great tasting.
