Member's Choice Night, 2021

 As dictated by Ancient Cabinet Tradition, the last meeting of the year is a "Member's Choice Night" wherein a rotating group of three members make the evening's tasting selections. This year they coordinated their efforts and chose novelty whiskies. Alas, the Ardbeg Supernova was finished, with its risible microgravity effects on oak shards (don't even bother trying to figure out what I'm talking about), but three very worthy candidates were found, plus a bonus one. We greatly enjoyed all three, but disliked the bonus, so in keeping with the Christmas spirit, we allowed ourselves a second bonus, which we loved.

I'm going to plead seasonal busyness and not comment any further, but simply allow the photographs to speak for themselves. 

The options:

Opening the secure cabinet:

First member's choice:

Second member's choice:

Third members choice:

First bonus:
(Not photographed. The inexpressibly bad Forty Creek Confederation Oak.)

Second bonus:

The graveyard of cylinders:

Merry Christmas & Slainte!
