For the fourth year in a row The Scotch Malt Whisky Society of America would like to extend discounted admission to the 2008 U.S. Single Malt & Scotch Whisky Extravaganza Tour for readers of The Scotch Blog.
That's right, Once again readers of The Scotch Blog pay the same admission price that members of the SMWS pay.
Read on for the schedule and how to get the discount:
And concluding our "12 days of Scotchmas" gift guide.
Hopefully something struck your fancy and you took advantage of some of the discounts these companies were kind enough to offer!
I have been reading the Scotch Whisky Review for some time - but only first wrote a story about it back in February 2007. In that story I said:
Wickedly smart. Bitingly funny. Loads of caustic wit.
These are just some of the terms that might be used to describe the Scotch Whisky Review.
----
The bottom line is that The Scotch Whisky Review should be on the reading list of every serious whisky fan.
And to make sure that you read it, I've arranged for a discount:
Current subscription rates are:
UK £10.00
EUROPE £14.00
REST OF WORLD £17.00
The SWR is published quarterly (4 times per year), but if you email them with 12 days of Scotchmas in the subject line, they'll be happy to give you 5 issues for the regular subscription price of 4 issues.
And they are apparently working on that god-awful web site. The Scotch Whisky Review.
This is NOT a paid promotion.

A few years ago in London I picked up a great little DVD called "Scotch Whisky: 
The Myth and the Magic"
Produced by HeeHaw Publishing who specialize in Scottish interest.
Our products present engaging and informative portraits of Scotland, concentrating on popular Scottish themes and significant eras in Scotland’s fascinating history. They present an entertaining and in-depth view of Scotland's turbulent past and unique culture and are sold throughout the UK, Europe, the US and Canada.
Why are you telling me about a 4 year old DVD?
Originally
released in 2003, the DVD has received a cosmetic makeover (the
actual documentary is the same). This means that if you have the
version with the old cover, there's no need to pick this one up.
Ah, Scotchmas - the most wonderful time of the year!
