This site gives an on-line presence to Jolly Toper Tastings. The tastings exist to allow established and new whisky drinkers to try rare, obscure, expensive but primarily good drams that otherwise might be difficult to track down, afford and taste. Beyond this the bespoke tastings offer the chance to commission a tasting for your own needs. As the site matures we hope to add a picture gallery and other features. In the meantime- dram on!
Time for an update
It turns out this is the bit of the site where new information is posted. Well its almost a year since the site went live and it’s slowly maturing into something of substance, no really it is. The gallery is a new addition where you can see some images of questionable merit but always of valid somposition. The library needs a bit of work as only a small percentage of the collection has been detailed, a few nights of keyboard crunching should do the trick. The next project is to set up links to places of interest for the whisky surfer and the bigee will be the transfer of the tasting write ups from their current home over at www.bladnoch.co.uk. The master plan is to have 25 individuals’ feed back on the drams at Jolly Toper tastings represented as a mark out of one hundred. Hopefully this will be a fair reflection of how popular a bottling is. Most reviews are by individuals or a group of industry professionals. The opinion of these guys is recognised as valid however I think asking consumers for comment will offer a different input to the melting pot of opinion. Well thats the theory. With luck this service will be available from 8th January 2010. How exciting.
