Think you got what it takes to tell the difference between your Bruichladdichs from your Bunnahabhains? Your Laphroaigs from your Lagavulins? Well, here's your big chance to show off your palate and put your taste buds to the ultimate test, Islay style!
7 whiskies to taste, 8 possible whiskies to match them up with, with one being the odd-man out on the flight. The person with the most correct pairings, wins a $25 gift card. Whoever can correctly guess the odd man out, wins a $25 gift card, And whoever has a perfect game, wins a $50 gift card.
Offical whisky tasting notes from the distilleries will be supplied for all 8 possible whiskies, but you can bring your own personal tasting notes with you. All whiskies will be poured blindly all at once, and all the whisky bottles will be newly opened that day, all having the same amount of time to breathe.
