Drams at the Speyside Whisky Festival

[STUDOGG37]

I kept a diary of the drams at the festival this year, they varied from 1cl to rather large drams, house drams were bottles we brought up, stands outs were Gran Reserva 1979, Glenfarclas 1964, Benriach claret 1993 & Macallan No6.
The dram I was really disappointed with was the Glenfarclas 2007 festival bottle.

We have already booked accommodation for next year and 10 of us are going, it was only 6 this year.
We got some samples away with us also which I'm keeping for my birthday.

Sounds like you had a great time and some great drams, I was just posting in the news section about the Tamdhu Batch Strength 2 being named Best No Age Statement whisky at the festival.
