We’re very, very, very, very… arrrrrrr obsessed with awesome drinks and passionate about connecting those that like to be flaviarized (we just made this one up; it means something like experiencing all sorts of flavours together with your friends).\u00a0Of course we are a part of a bigger mission: change the way people drink, eat, taste. Nice!<\/p>\n

Technologists, entrepreneurs, foodies, chefs, designers, DJs, filmmakers\u2026 These are just some of the folks who love what we’re doing. We appreciate that a lot!

The tasting pack I received featured 5 world whisky drams: Writer’s Tears (Ireland), Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (Scotland), Amrut (India), Santis Malt (Switzerland) & \u00a0Nikka Yoichi 10 Years Old (Japan).<\/p>\n

To make the most out of this Flaviar experience, I asked a couple of friends to come over (who would say no to a whisky tasting night anyway ?<\/em>) and organised a blind tasting session [ending up hidding the samples under the living-room carpet to avoid nasty cheaters… All classy and refined :)].<\/em><\/p>\n

And what best way to share this experience with you than allowing you to take part in this blind tasting?<\/p>\n

One simple rule: try to match each dram with the corresponding tasting notes! (Answers below)<\/strong><\/p>\n
