[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.]

                I have been volunteering as a tax preparer here in Korea, thus thinking often and at length on why I like Scotch.  The quick and the short of it is … I don’t know why, only that I do.  The rest of these paragraphs is just me prattling on for a bit.

An Old SNOTS Cask?

In: General

1 Mar 2010

Here’s an intriguing idea for the Old SNOTS, or anyone else for that matter.  Duncan Taylor, an independent bottler in Scotland, is offering the opportunity to purchase your own quarter cask or octave cask.  More details are HERE. 
 
A quarter cask is 150 bottles and an octave cask is 70 bottles.  There’s no indication 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 [...]

For those of you who know that there are pictures from the last Old SNOTS gathering and from the Burns Night at the Scottish Arms and have been waiting patiently to see them here, this is to assure you they are coming.  We’re having some technical difficulties with the webpage.  The site administrator is working [...]


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.”
