They are gone, but not forgotten, these are truly Rare Drams.
Scotland experienced a significant rate of distillery closures during the 1980,s. Many of these distilleries which are now “Lost” have become Icons and Collectable. Rare Drams will be unveiling six of these unique drams for you to taste. The DNA has been locked in the cask and bottled for your pleasure, but remember treat these with care because “ they wont be back again.”
Can you afford this tasting? Can you afford not too?

From The Times of london July 14
Switzerland doesnt pick a fight with the world unless it is at its wits end….so , when a new Political Party launches with the sole aim of outlawing Power Point presentations, you know that the swiss have been provoked beyond the brink !
The new Anti-Power Point Party says that banishing needless Power point presentations could save the world Euros 350 bn per year. More importantly it would save the world having to listen to someone recite a sentance , which the audience can read for themseleves.
If you know a “Group ” that fits this profile, let me know, and we will add it to the savings !
Cheers
This is a real Family favourite : You may have to convert the Weights & measures !
Kay’s Whisky cake
6 Oz Sultanas
1/2 pint of water
4 oz. of butter (Unsalted but best butter)
5 oz caster sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons of your favourite “dram”, (I like Lochnagar, Glenglassaugh, Glenfarclas, Aberlour, Littlemill, Glengoyn, Auchentoshan…….
6 oz of plain flour
1 level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of grated nutmeg
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
2 1/2 oxz of finely chopped walnuts
Cover the sultanas with water and simmer for 1/4 an hour. Drain, but save a wee bit of the remaining liquid.Cream the butter with the sugar and beat in the egg. Stir together the flour, the bicarbonate of soda, salt and nutmeg, alternately with two tablespoons of the remainging liquid from the sultanas.
Then add the sultanas, lemon juice, the chopped walnuts, then finally the “dram”.
Pour the mixture into an 8 inch tin and bake for 30 minutes @ 350 F. (Gas 4)
Your Whisky Cake should emerge lovely and brown with wee crusty edges. Leave , if you can, to settle before tasting.
