Until the end of May 2012 I’m experimenting with a weekly tasting program, sharing the hosting of the nights between The Tolbooth and The Kilderkin pubs and adding a few Friday nights as well as the traditional Thursday nights. Hopefully this will make the events more accessible and not be a case of overprovision. Apparently linseed is good for the liver…..

I can’t take it anymore!

After years of procrastinating I’m going to announce this site officially open. I could wait another millenia before I’m happy my little baby is complete, so here it is folks, no on-line shop yet and endless tweeks needing to be done, hey ho. Let me know what can be improved but be realistic and go easy on me.

Nearly there!

After many hours of uploading information the site is as close as it has been to launch. Just a few more ts to cross and is to dot. Not least sorting out the e-mail issue. As a stop gap if you need to contact Jolly Toper use:- chws@wmcadenhead.com. The idea of selling whisky and related stuff through the site is tempting but will delay launch. Hmm what to do…

Website launched!

Welcome to the new website for Jolly Toper Tastings. Jolly Toper Tastings is a long-running whisky tasting session at one of the most historic bars in Edinburgh, The Tollbooth Tavern. Tastings typically include five malt whiskies at cask strength chosen either to be part of a theme or representing a more balanced selection of flavours.

The site will act as a point of contact for the business, a reference for the dates and details of the regular tastings and a source of comment and news particularly focused on whisky. During tastings those present get the chance to feed back their thoughts on the drams tried. After each regular tasting a write up will feature an evaluation rating, represented as a percentage, reflecting the group’s enjoyment of the drams. Don’t forget Jolly Toper Tastings host private and hospitality tastings too.
