20 years on and some 500 whiskies later we continue to build our collections and enjoy regular tastings, along with great food and company. The rules are simple, bring an unopened and untasted single malt whisky from anywhere in the world to complete on the night for the best score. Scoring takes into account aroma, taste, finish and overall balance.
Only whiskies with an ABV of 43% or above are permitted.
Mr Barrow keeps a record of every whisky tasted and their positions on the night. If interested the list can be downloaded below.

From the small and friendly ....
To the mind-blowing experience that is Macallan ...
And on to those favourites, that had to be on the list. Such fun had by all.
