So much whisky tonight, trying to see if I can remember all of them... (bold = shortlist of favorites)

Bulleit Bourbon
Cabin Fever Maple Whisky
Old Potrero 18th Century Style Whiskey
St. George Single Malt Whiskey (Hangar One, not St. George from England)
St. George / Hangar One Whiskey made from Sierra Nevada Pale Ale mash.
Templeton Rye Small Batch Whiskey
Yamazaki Single Malt Whisky
Aberlour A’Bunadh - Cask strength + sherry. So strong it feels like it evaporates off the tip of your tongue.
Amrut Cask Strength
Amrut Intermediate Sherry - Indian sherry matured whiskey, but without the harsh tannic finish thanks to Bourbon-Sherry-Bourbon transfer.
anCnoc 12 Year Old - Sugary, syrupy, delicious with dessert. I had a bite of dark chocolate at the booth next door which made it even better.
Ardbeg 10 Year Old
Ardbeg Uigeadail
Ardmore Traditional Cask
Chieftain's Glenturret 1990
Caol Ila Distiller's Edition
Lagavulin 16 Year Old
Compass Box Spice Tree - Oak Cross on 'roids.
Compass Box “Orangerie”
Dalmore Gran Reserva
Dalmore King Alexander - Almonds, roasted peanuts. Very, very smooth.
Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban
Isle of Jura 10 Year Old
Johnnie Walker Gold Label
Kilchoman Winter 2010 Release - New distillery, and might just be my favorite single Islay malt.
Laphroaig Quarter Cask
Springbank CV
Signatory Highland Park '91 18 Year Old
Los Nahuales Mezcal Joven / Blanco Tequila
The Glenlivet 25 Year Old
Baker's Bourbon
Roughstock Montana Wheat Mash Whiskey
Roughstock Montana Single Malt Whiskey
Roughstock Montana Corn Whiskey

The best part of the night was meeting Whyte & Mackay's master blender, Richard Paterson. He did his entire routine for us (minus the firecracker).
