Going to run my first Scotch Nosing ; will see if it works.

Really just a few neighbours.

Since it is not a serious thing but just an experiment I decided on a simple strategy , one from each region. Although there are formally only 5 regions the pratice seems to be to use 6.

Hard to find a common theme but I decided that every Scotch will be:

- SIngle Malt
-no artificial colour
-no chill-filtering

This means at least 46% A.B.V, and in some cases a fair bit higher.
I tried to avoid distilleries owned by large corporations, but the reality is that there are not all that many, so some are owned by big players.

Here is the lineup:
-Deanston Virgin Oak
- Lochlea
-Arran Sherry Cask
-Springbank 12 Cask Strength
-Aberlour a'Bunadh
-Octomore 9.1

There are lots of other very good single malts like Lagavulin 16 or Glenfiddich or the like but they are artificially coloured and chill filtered so I stayed away from those choices.,

If it turns out to be fun then I might run one every six months or so on a different theme. This is just an introduction to the various regions, though they are not neatly divided like France wine regions so lots of overlap. Will see how it goes, and order some pizza for after!
