Last night was 9th annual Atlas Scotch Tour in Boston. http://www.atlasliquors.com/scotchtour05.html While Scotch may predominate at this event, there is usually a good amount of Bourbon as well. This is the biggest event of its type that I am aware of this side of NYC. If there is anything bigger, please show me some love and spill the beans.
Two important Bourbon revelations last night.
1) I don't like Michters. The 10yo bourbon was evil and the 10yo rye started out OK but turned evil. They both have a harsh rough quality to them. I like a bold and brash whiskey, but this just seemed wrong. Real frontier whiskey!
2) The Sazerac rep told me that he will have the new Stagg, Weller, Sazerac in the next week!!
Woo hoo!
