Our May tasting was a little unique and a lot of fun.

First, my apologies for the lateness of this post. We held this tasting in March, and as we approach the end of April, I realized that I did not do this write-up. So here we go…

The November 2021 tasting of the River City Whisky Society was the Members Only High Dollar Night. And it was a good one.

The September meeting of the River City Whisky Society featured World Whiskies. We scoured the planet for expressions that we have not tried, with a couple coming from counties of origin that are generally not spoken of. For this tasting we sampled whisky from Ireland, Japan, America, Finland and Austria.

The July meeting of the River City Whisky Society was fantastic. It was one of our large tastings with 43 folks on hand. The theme: Port Finishes.

In May of this year the River City Whisky Society hosted a club tasting with an unusual theme: Animals.

In late March the River City Whisky Society met for a tasting of Independent Bottlers.

Yup, its been a while since we posted anything here. We did have our September and November tastings and I am just now getting around to posting about them. Sorry for the delay.

Another High-Dollar night with great offerings!

Rye whiskies take those spicy bourbons a little bit further. By limiting the amount of corn and increasing the amount of rye in the mashbill you replace the overall sweetness with a spiciness that excites the taste buds.
