A Look Back At 2010

In: General

1 Dec 2010

Well boys and girls, we’ve come to the end of another enormously successful Old SNOTS year.  Despite my occasional desire for time to stand still so I could live in a moment forever, mercifully for me and those with me, I’m not God and can’t make time stop.  (This gets me wondering about metaphysical questions [...]

We’ve come down to that time of the year when the Old SNOTS gather to select the favorite whisky of the year.  The process is to take the favorite from each of the gatherings during the year and then pit them head-to-head in the last gathering of the year.  You may recall that the last [...]

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.”
