Just got word of a Chieftain’s tasting at Martin’s West in Redwood City.  Presented by the fine folks at K&L Wines, there will be seven whiskies poured including…get this, people…a 1976 Allt’ A ‘Bhainne 31 Year and a 1982 Port Ellen 25 Year.  Indeed, this is the very same Port Ellen I was lucky enough to try at a Whisky Shop/Signatory event last month. The cost is $25, which would be worth it if they were only pouring the Port Ellen.

The Chieftain’s line of independent bottlings is a relatively new one here in the states, if the Port Ellen is any indication, the good folks at Impex Beverages are bringing us some great stuff and this will be a great opportunity to give a few of them a try.
