“Today's rain is tomorrow's whisky” - Traditional Scottish Proverb

March Whisky of the Month – Loch Lomond ‘The Open' Special Edition - reviewed by Club Chairman and Tattersalls golfer Colin Dunn.

For one short minute just close your eyes

And imagine rolling hills of fruit and peach

Now look at your glass with the orange-amber glow

And the golden liquid within your reach

'The Open' edition of Loch Lomond

Is a drop that will give to all many thrills

They’ve crafted a drop with golf on their mind

But the nose shows stone fruits and rolling hills

At the end, it demonstrates such a fine flavour

Which shows that our Club's selection is great

Just sit back and relax and enjoy the drop

Don’t ever think drinking fine scotch is a mistake

Ooo-ooo

Overall: Close your eyes and envision rolling hills of peaches and stone fruit. Strolling through groves of fruit trees. Whiff the sweetness of brown sugar and molasses. The sweet palate lingers.

Colour: Deep amber orange, like a yellow river of gold.

Nose: You immediately smell the sweetness which seems to have origins in peach or stone fruits. There are hints of passionfruit, brown sugar and molasses.

Palate: Shades of vanilla essence brings out the peach and stone fruit nose. Definitely a molasses finish.

Water: Dilutes the sweetness and not recommended.

Finish: Medium/long finish. Sweetness lingers as your thoughts drift to stone fruit covered hills.

I hope you enjoy the experience.

Good tasting,

Colin Dunn

March book club delves into historical fiction

Posted by David Staume on Tuesday, March 09, 2021

The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel is next up for Book Club, moving from February’s read Castaway’s Cape York 1858 to England circa 1536.

Described by the Guardian as “a shoo-in for the booker prize” and “a book not read, but lived” by the Telegraph.

Guardian Book of the Year • A Times Book of the Year • A Daily Telegraph Book of the Year • A Telegraph Book of the Year • A Sunday Times Book of the Year • A New Statesman Book of the Year • A Spectator Book of the Year

We can’t wait to read Book Club’s March book, and as it’s a long read at over 800 pages it’s a great one to start now! Although the third in the Thomas Cromwell Trilogy, if you haven’t read the first two books you will still understand and enjoy the story.

The Book Club will next meet via Zoom on Wednesday 31st March from 16:00 to 17:30.

For more information or to sign up for the book club please contact Sara at sarapeelgrane@tattersallsclub.org or phone 9263 9202.
