Tales of the Whisky Team
Throughout this year we decided to focus on different aspects of what the Society does and explain to you how we work behind the scenes. This month, the focus falls on the Whisky Team, who are responsible for sourcing the liquid that ends up going into our green bottles.
But there’s a lot more to their work than that, as you’ll find out from Duncan Gorman’s fantastic feature – and accompanying video – which delves deep into the extent of the Whisky Team’s key role in keeping Society members excited and enthused about what’s coming their way each month.
As always, there’s a lot to share about what’s going on at the Society – we find out more about the special selection of bottlings being released for International Women’s Day, take a tour of Taipei to experience some incredible partner bars in Taiwan, and we turn the spotlight on another distillery we’re going to be seeing more from in the near future, Seattle’s Westland.
Of course March also means the perfect excuse to raise a glass for St Patrick’s Day, so Julien Willems is on hand to tell you all about our new Irish small-batch ‘heresy’ bottling Shimmering Silk – and we even have a new partner bar in Belfast, run by a familiar face from the Society’s past.
Cheers,
