天津单一麦芽威士忌俱乐部将在江江顺来韩国餐厅十一月五日举办亚洲威士忌品酒会

我们俱乐部上次举办的苏格兰威士忌之夜活动的赞助商－江江顺来，邀请我们在奥城他们传统韩餐厅里举办一场盛宴。

天津单一麦芽威士忌俱乐部已经决定宴会上使用的威士忌都是亚洲产的威士忌，分别来自三个主要的威士忌生产地：亚洲的日本、台湾和印度。而日本是以生产优质的威士忌而闻名，令人惊讶的是，对于许多人来说，在台湾和印度也有公认的世界级威士忌。

我真的非常期待这次的活动，希望在这次活动中能够看到很多新面孔出现，也希望看到俱乐部的资深会员出现在活动现场。

The Whisky Selection

Report

This was a really great night. We have a great relationship with Michael (Manager of Gang Gang Sullai), and the restaurant have supported our events in the past, therefore we were delighted to be able to hold one of our Member's Nights Events here.

Of the whiskies tasted that evening, two of them are from surprising places. Taiwan and India both have world class distilleries which surprise many people. Their whisky is actually quite unique, and is termed (unofficially by myself) as "Warm Climate Whiskies"... as opposed to cold climate whiskies such as Scotland, Japan, and Tasmania.

This warm climate leads to the whisky developing faster in the barrel, and to my tastes leads to a more fruitier whisky than otherwise. Nonetheless, the whiskies on the night were excellent, as it is a point of pride that every Tianjin Single Malt Club tasting has amazing whisky on offer.

I will admit that Gang Gang Sullai have some of my favorite Korean food in Tianjin. I have been told it has a slight Chinese influence to the dishes and not truly 100% strictly Korean, but I thoroughly enjoyed the banquet, and would definitely eat there again (I have actually eaten at Gang Gang many times, so the quality of the food was not really a surprise).

One thing we like to focus on with our events is getting the right social vibe going. We try very hard to get the right social mix of people, add some good food, some good alcohol, some great photos, and enough interesting facts about whisky to keep people interested. We are always very pleased when people enjoy our events and find themselves in great conversational company, and we though we achieved that on this night.

All in all, a great night and thank you to everybody who came, and of course to Gang Gang Sullai for providing the food.
