Whisky Forum - Moray Council allows whisky tasting measures to shrink

Quaich1

Smaller measures of whisky can be drunk at tastings and distillery tours, after new guidance was issued in Moray. The council area includes Speyside, where dozens of distilleries attract thousands of visitors every year. The annual Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, which runs from 28 April to 2 May, has welcomed the move, which will allow drinks to be served in 10ml measures rather than 25ml.

What do you think about that??? Wow.

I think it's a good idea as long as customers are charged accordingly.

I fear, that this won't happen. Better of being sloshed than out of pocket Rolling Eyes

I didn't realise that there was anything to stop them from serving smaller measures, but it makes sense. Scotland's drink-driving laws are so draconian now it was hard doing the distillery tours last year and just having a sip at the end - not so bad when you could ask for a sip, but when they'd pre-poured it was difficult to waste it.
