Rare Find Manchester Tasting 7th June 2025
What a way to make a comeback!
Over 5 years since our previous series of tastings. Our last tasting was at the end of March 2020, when we were all told to stay at home...
So we are obviously delighted to be back and especially delighted that friends of The Whisky Lounge, and one of our favourite indie bottlers, Gleann Mor (Rare Finds) are the first guests to join us.
From the Rare Finds website...
Gleann Mor Spirits Company has been on a journey, evolving and maturing - just like the finest whisky. From humble beginnings on a Leith industrial estate to our current operation, including a vast cask inventory in our extended bonded warehouse, Rare Find has become the crown jewel of our craft, reserved only for the most exceptional single malts.
Each Rare Find release is an unrepeatable, limited-edition whisky sourced from sought-after distilleries. With every bottle, we celebrate liquid excellence - meticulously selecting, maturing, and finishing in the highest quality casks to deliver whisky that's rare by design.
From the millions of casks maturing in Scotland, only a small percentage are destined for single malt bottlings, and from those, only the best become a Rare Find.
Emily Coyle, from Rare Finds, will be guiding us through their latest releases – and yep, it’s as tasty as it sounds:
🥃 Dailuaine 16yo finished in a Foursquare rum cask
🍷 Glen Garioch 16yo with a Ribera del Duero twist
🍇 Glen Ord 10yo aged in Châteauneuf-du-Pape casks (fancy, eh?)
🥴 A cheeky Secret Lowland 11yo in a rich sherry cask
💛 And a crowd-pleaser: the legendary Aultmore 14yo
These tastings usually accommodate 25-30 people and are a lovely occasion, where we all get to listen to and enjoy the guest presenter's patter, as well as their lovely whiskies. Just bring an open-mind and a willing palate!
