Uisge Beatha ...the Water of Life
What honest gentleman isn't a fan of a good Scotch whisky? That said, American whiskey, Bourbon, Japanese Single Malt, the occasional Irish whiskey, and of course a really good beer, will all do. And there are some fantastic cocktails to be had in and around Rochester, too!
We sometimes meet (regrettably, it was far more often in years gone by) to tipple a selection of Scotches and give them a scoring. The table below represents a generous sampling of those we've tried and scored together.
You can find the accompanying write-ups at our old blog (Third Thursday Club).
