PMWC had a special night Celebrating Sweet Sixteen- yes 16 years together sampling some of the world’s finest whiskies!
As well as a nice line up of especially chosen 16yr bottles we had a very rare Convalmore and a gorgeous looking 31yr Bowmore Tantalus.
Huge thanks to our VIP for the evening Brian Dvoret who also supplied a fabulous Blair Atholl bottle for our celebration. Find of the night though despite the rarity and impressiveness of our line up was the 16yr Bladnoch it has been added to a few Christmas lists this year. Huge thanks to our hosts and to the group for making this such a rewarding journey! Slainte! 🥃🥃

The PMWC Scottish Games’ whisky meeting turned out to be a bit different this year, with a last minute team effort from The Whisky Shop San Francisco and Rory Glasgow to help ensure the Master Class went ahead. A terrific line up of The GlenDronach drams was presented to a full and appreciative class by EP which included the newly launched Master’s Anthology bottles bookended by the PortWood and the 15Year. Ode to the Dark and the 15yr seemed to be the PMWC favorites on the day. Huge thanks to Alan Purves & Barb Sweet for helping orchestrate as always. 🥃🥃’
