SUMMARY:Bruichladdich Blending Workshop with Jason Cousins
DESCRIPTION:“Classic Laddie Cask Component Workshop”\nThe event is called the “Classic Laddie Cask Component Workshop” – and the objective is to highlight both the complexity of Classic Laddie as well as the level of craft needed to blend it by hand\, without use of recipes or computers\, all while driving sales behind our priority single malt.\nWe start with a presentation / slide show deep-dive into Classic Laddie\, with a tasting of both Classic as well as 8 component cask-strength samples typically used in the vatting.  Guests will sample 1st and 2nd fill Bourbon casks\, Scottish vs Islay vs Organic barley\, as well as 1st and 2nd fill wine and sherry casks.\nOnce we have all tasted and finished with the presentation\, the guests then use the samples provided to try to approximate the flavor profile of Classic Laddie\, in their own 100ml take-home bottle.\nI will have some swag/gifts for those who blend well\, and it should be a good time all around.\nJoin with Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/ipk-ayjp-rny\nLearn more about Meet at: https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9282720

SUMMARY:Asian Spirits Paired With Japanese & Sichuan Food
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-depth exploration of Baijiu and Japanese whiskies at Southside Asian Cuisine in Milford\, MA on Wednesday\, April 24th\, 2024 from 6:30 pm-8.30 pm. Amanda Russo\, National Sales Manager at CNS Imports\, will guide us through this spirits tasting paired with Japanese and Sichuan Food. \nJapanese whiskies have taken the world by storm and are well established in their own right.  However\, the #1 selling spirit in the world\, Baijiu\, is still a relatively unknown commodity. Baijiu is to China\, what Bourbon is to USA\, Scotch is to Scotland\, and wine is to France. If you have never before tasted Baijiu\, you will be taken aback – it is like nothing you have ever tasted.  It is an unforgettable experience. Baijiu is incredibly complex and nuanced\, and is best enjoyed with food\, preferably authentic Chinese. \nWhat is Baijiu?\nBaijiu is a Chinese distilled alcoholic beverage. It’s one of the most consumed spirits in the world\, particularly in China. Baijiu is typically made from sorghum\, although other grains like rice\, wheat\, barley\, or millet can also be used. The production process involves fermentation of the grains followed by distillation.  There are many different kinds of baijiu\, but the four main types are loosely defined as the rice aroma (a floral\, light flavor)\, light aroma (a sweet\, floral taste)\, sauce aroma (a sharp taste akin to soy sauce)\, and strong aroma (spicy and fruity)\, and within these broad categories there are countless additional variations. \nFun fact: Kweichow Moutai (a Baijiu) has the highest market value for any company in the world that is purely involved in the alcohol industry? Maotai bottles are typically only found at special functions. In 1974\, then-U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger reportedly told Deng Xiaoping\, the high-ranking Communist official who would lead China for two decades\, “if we drink enough Maotai\, we can solve anything.” \nTasting lineup\nBaijiu \n\nWu Liang Ye Baijiu 104 Proof\nKweichow Moutai Baijiu\nKinmen Kaoliang Baijiu 116 Proof\nShui Jing Fang Wellbay\nLuzhou Laojiao Bainian\nLuzhou Laojiao Zisha\nLuzhou Laojiao San Ren Xuan\n\nJapanese Whisky \n\nKujira Ryukyu 15 Years Old White Oak Virgin Cask\nKujira Ryukyu 12 Year Whisky\nKujira Ryukyu 10 Years Old White Oak Virgin Cask\n\nFood Menu \n\nJapanese Appetizer\nMagura Awase with crispy chips\nWest Lake beef soup\nBoneless Duck with Plum sauce\nPineapple Shrimp\nChinese Seasonal Greens\nYuen Yang Spicy Beef\nMala Spicy Pot combo\nEither Ginger Scallion or Salt and Pepper Lobster\nFried Rice\n\nTickets are $20.00 per person. \nTasting lineup and menu subject to change.

SUMMARY:RyeLaw (Inchdairnie Distillery) Single Grain Scotch Whisky Tasting with Ian Palmer
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever tasted a malted rye Scotch whisky? Now is your chance! Join us at Norfolk Wine & Spirits on Friday\, April 26th\, 2024 for a FREE RyeLaw Single Grain Scotch Whisky Tasting led by Ian Palmer\, Managing Director for InchDairnie Distillery. This is the first official release of RyeLaw in the United States and Ian will have multiple goodies on hand. \nTasting lineup: \n\nRyeLaw Fife Single Grain Scotch Whisky\nRyeLaw Fife Single Grain Scotch WhiskyChar 1\nRyeLaw Fife Single Grain Scotch WhiskyChar 5\nRyeLaw Fife Single Grain Scotch WhiskyHungarian Oak\nRyeLaw Fife Single Grain Scotch WhiskyFrench Oak\n\nAbout RyeLaw:RawLaw is a single distillery Fife Scotch Whisky made from malted rye and barley. It is hammer-milled\, mashed\, outdoor-fermented\, precision distilled and matured at InchDairnie Distillery in Fife. \nRyeLaw is the only whisky in the world made using malted rye and distilled in a Lomond Hill still. \nA Lomond Hill still is a copper pot still with six copper bubble cap plates inside its neck. By using this unique type of still\, the exact optimum flavour level and strength can be achieved without fluctuations – for RyeLaw this is exactly 72% ABV. This technique is called ‘precision distilling’\, where the peak of the flavour is pinpointed and collected for maturation. \nAbout Ian Palmer:InchDairnie Distillery is the brainchild of Ian Palmer who had a vision of building a distillery\, with equipment that breaks the mould\, capable of reaching flavours not normally accessible. Ian designed the distillery together with the construction company Colorado Group and even engineered the Lomond Hill still (used for precision distilling RyeLaw). \nWith over 40 years of experience in the whisky industry Ian has been integral to the process of converting a green field site to a distillery of its time and has been key to the flavour research and development in the different whiskies engineered and distilled at InchDairnie Distillery. Ian Palmer has worked as Operations Manager at Invergordon Distillery and Group Distilling Manager for all the distilleries in Whyte & Mackay\, including Dalmore\, Jura\, Bruichladdich\, Fettercairn and Tamnavulin. Ian is also the man behind the building of Starlaw grain distillery for French group La Martiniquaise. \nTasting lineup subject to change. \nMust be of legal drinking age (21+) to participate.
