The Casual Dram:11 - Sunday 26 May, 2.30pm Mean Doses Taproom

Level 1, 66 Tory St (above Mabel’s), Te Aro, Wellington | $50pp

It’s time for another Casual Dram (or four)!

This time we’re lining up a sumptuously eclectic mix with a brace of peaty Islanders, a cask strength Campbeltown and a rather juicy looking PX-aged Speysider that our friends at Whisky Galore have concocted (or at least bottled). Plenty to keep us on our toes, with bourbon cask, sherry cask, peated and unpeated drams all making an appearance - and a rather high collective abv too for good measure.

Here’s the lineup…

• Welcome dram

• SMWS 4.312 'Old-School with a twist' 13 years old 61.2% (Highland Park - first fill bourbon hoggie)

• Glenallachie "Whisky Galore's 21st Anniversary'' 2009/14 YO 57.9% (PX cask)

• Springbank 12YO Cask Strength 2023 Release 54.1% (bourbon/sherry)

• Ledaig 'Signatory' 2007/10yo Peaty Artist #9 60.8% (refill sherry butt)
