[The following is an account of an Old SNOTS offsite gathering.  Though the tone of the minutes may seem negative, in fact we had a great time.  It goes to show that wherever and whenever the Old SNOTS gather it'll be a night worth noting.]

1.  This addition [...]

Saturday (24 April) the Old SNOTS gathered for another installment of single malt whisky tasting. 

But this was no ordinary evening.   The single malt whiskies being tasted were from distilleries the Old SNOTS had not sampled from before, partly due to the fact that they are a little more difficult to find in this part of the [...]

The Finals

In: General

21 Feb 2010

It’s now official.  Over the last several months, the Old SNOTS had been sampling whiskies that had been favorites at previous gathering dating back to 2003.  The eventual goal was to winnow the best of the winners from the others.  Over the last several months, we cussed and cursed, gushed and raved, turned our thumbs [...]

About the Old SNOTS

SNOTS = Scotch Nosing Or Tasting Society

A group of men and women from all walks of life and all parts of the globe who, when the situation permits, warrants or demands, succumb to the reverence of Scotland’s most distinctive product—uisghe beatha, water of life, single malt whisky—and firmly of the conviction that “Whisky may not cure the common cold, but it fails more agreeably than most other things.”
