The Tasting

2013 Charity Dinner

 

Burn Stewart supported our Group again when Peter Semple provided his time, energy and knowledge for the tasting before our 2013 Dinner.

Through Peter’s hospitality the company enjoyed a great start to the evening with samples from Deanston in Stirlingshire, Bunnahabhain on Islay and Tobermory on Mull. Many members of the group had visited one or all of these distilleries since SAFG held their first dinner in 2011 and we feel sure many more members will be tempted to visit following Peter’s excellent tasting.
