On April 18, we had a tasting event with Matt Jones (@whisky_chef on instagram/twitter), the Beam-Suntory brand ambassador for the company’s Scotch and worldwhisky portfolios. Matt brought us a number of expressions from both of these Islay distilleries and regaled us with tales from that beautiful island, and the people who live and work there. He also brought some great swag for everyone to take home which was a fantastic bonus! The drams we tried were:

• Bowmore No. 1
• Bowmore 15 Darkest
• Bowmore Vault Edition No. 1 “Atlantic Sea Salt”
• Bowmore 18 Manzanilla Cask
• Laphroaig Triplewood
• Laphroaig Lore
• Laphroaig Cairdeas 2017 Quarter Cask CS

Here are some pictures of this fantastic event.
