The Casual Dram:12 - Sunday 25 August, 2.30pm, Mean Doses Taproom

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

It’s time for another Casual Dram!

This time we’ll be going coastal and visiting an array of distilleries that live by the sea. We’ll taste single cask offerings from Islay’s Laphroaig and The Highland’s Glenglassaugh, a festival release from Glen Scotia and a cask strength curiosity from Roseisle. What defines a coastal style and do all coastal distilleries make coastal whiskies? There’s only one way to find out!

Here’s the lineup…

• Glen Scotia 11yo 'Festival Release 2023' 54.7%

• Roseisle 12yo Special Release 2023 56.5%

• Laphroaig SMWS 29.282 9yo ‘Massive aniseed heat and searing peat’ 62.3%

• Glenglassaugh 9yo 2012 Cask 522 58.9%

• Mystery whisky (hint - it’s a single cask, cask strength offering from SMWS)

Join John Shearlock from Regional Wines and Drinks Creative for some single malt magic and a decent dose of whisky banter at the Mean Doses bar!
