Pour 3/4 Drammers Club 1 oz. Brought by head of drammers club to the Balvenie suite at lotte New York palace hotel and towers. Brilliant with notes of chocolate, mocha, caramel, raisins, honey, peppers, and dates with a little smoke as this was lightly Peated. Like a sticky toffee pudding.

@PBMichiganWolverine cost to join is free but events usually cost around $100. This one cost $131 because it was last second capacity up to 25 people.
@PBMichiganWolverine I try to hide my disappointment when my other half has an evening shift that coincides with a club meeting.
@worldwhiskies95 that type of exclusivity has got to come at a price. I can’t see someone opening up a 32 yr old 1966 Balvenie for a group of strangers without a (high) price tag.
@Richard-ModernDrinking oh I can see home tariffs at new highs if I were to join.
@PBMichiganWolverine The first rule of drammer’s club is that there is no drummer’s club. The second rule is that it is well worth joining!
@PBMichiganWolverine It is a whisky club with chapters in New York, Los Angeles, Mexico City, London, Paris, Warsaw, Tel Aviv, Beirut, Mumbai, and recently started Abu Dhabi. This club gets around at various times trying hard to find whiskies and occasionally other spirits. Joined in February and have had events with Jura, that boutique-y whisky company, Informal meetup with Mexico City head, Scotch Whisky Auctions (7 drams, money for charity), Sullivans Cove, Highland Park, and this.
What is this drummers club?
