My dad hosts “Scotchmas” every year once people are in town for Christmas. Close friends and family gather at my parents table for a themed whiskey tasting. It started as just scotch but has branched into anything in the whiskey family. My dad gets to host and share all the research he did about each bottle and the rest of us get to turn off the holiday stress and sit around a table and bullshit with loved ones at least for a couple hours. My question is this: he’ll soon start asking about the theme he should do this year. In the recent past minus Covid we’ve done aged 18 and over (retirement bonus year), Japanese whiskeys, a tour of the different areas of Scotland, blended whiskeys, and everyone bring your favorite bottle to share. I’d love to hear any ideas for themes or even just individual bottles.

Definitely using this. Look for it on Friday.
