Stonehaven Whisky Howff

Thanks to Andrew Wallace for coming up to Stonehaven and presenting a Springbank tasting to the Howff. All drams were greatly enjoyed. Special thanks to @Springbank1828 for donating the bottles. This allowed us to raise £770 for @RNLI Stonehaven Lifeboat.

Thanks to @WhiskyWeegie for a great event at the Howff yesterday. We had super afternoon. The blended Grain surprised and came out tops on the day. Due to the generosity of both @BNS_Whisky and those attending, £440 (£550 with gift aid) was raised for @MaggiesCentres

Great craic was enjoyed on yesterdays club night at @marinestoney. We unveiled & sampled 5 bottles from the wonderful @DornochDist Mystery Malts Series and I think we did rather well with the bottles we received. The Bruichladdich Rhinns coming out on top.

Thanks to @RussellBrinklow and @gordon_macphail for an excellent tasting at the Howff yesterday. We managed to raise £667 for the G&M charity at the event.

About to begin a 6 dram tasting with @HowffWhisky

Noise levels increasing as dram No.5 is being handed out. @HowffWhisky

A grand night was had at our February Club Night yesterday. 5 lovely single casks from @bartelswhisky_ were enjoyed. With the 15Yr old Port Charlotte bourbon cask narrowly pipping the 14Yr old Balblair sherry butt for victory.

Huge thanks to Andrew @_littlebrowndog for a great tasting for the Howff on Saturday. Superb drams and equally great banter. Thankfully the Howff Glen Garioch bottling was very well received. Managed to fit in a Happy Birthday to Andrew’s dog Peedie

@_BHowie Hi, we had a sold out burns event yesterday and our next one will be from top independent bottler Andrew Smith of Little Brown Dog Spirits on Saturday 8th Feb, 15:00 at the Marine Hotel in Stonehaven. Details are on our Facebook page

@HowffWhisky hi. Just wondering when your next gathering will be? Have a friend who's wanting to try, so thought your tastings would be a great introduction.

Thanks to Chris McDiarmid and @berrybrosrudd for a super Burns Day tasting yesterday. Thanks also to the above mentioned and the wonderful members of Stonehaven Whisky Howff for their generous donations which raised an amazing £1641 for @MNDoddie5 👏👏

Thanks to author Tim Smith for giving a presentation to the Howff on his new book about whisky entrepreneur Joe Hobbs ‘Not Your Average Joe’. Joe had such an extraordinary life and it was great to hear about it. 6 drams, all from distilleries that Joe had owned were enjoyed.

Another superb @Lady_ofthe_Glen tasting was enjoyed by @HowffWhisky yesterday. Once again very well presented by Paul McKendrick. The Caol Ila 10 PX Octave came out tops with special mentions to the Aultmore 11 Rum cask finish & Lochindaal 16 Tawny Port.

What a great afternoon we had on our @hlaingwhisky tasting with @WhiskyToasts yesterday. 6 Fantastic whiskies and great craic. Thanks to the generosity of Hunter Laing we were able to raise £370+giftaid for @MNDoddie5. This amount will be doubled thanks to a friends employer BP

What a great monthly club meet we had last night. Thanks to Mike Grubb for providing whiskies from of the 6 nations competing in the Rugby. Turned out to be 5 great whiskies and Un whisky affreux….! Winner on the night was Scotland, followed by Ireland and Italy

Huge thanks to Greg from @GleannMor for bringing along some excellent whiskies to the Howff yesterday. Thanks also to @marinestoney for hosting us and great Haggis.

Some great whiskies were enjoyed at our November club night. Great to see some new faces there. The @WmCadenhead Benrinnes 20 narrowly pipped the Chorlton Highland Park 22 for dram of the night. Thanks to Robert for the lovely HP 13 single cask as a bonus dram.
