Whiskey is kind of a small world and when fellow “whiskey folk” Fred Noe and Simon Brooking passed through Denver they stopped in for a visit.  Fred Noe as you may or may no know is the great grandson and Master distiller for Jim Beam.  Simon Brooking is the brand ambassador for The Dalmore.  They were in town for “The Great Whiskey Debate”.  I took advantage of having such knowledgeable guests and broke out a bunch of cask samples for evaluation.  We spent the better part of the morning tasting, sampling and discussing the various expressions.  It was a pleasure to have the input of such distinguished palettes.  I have to say on a personal level, it is hard to find 2 better guys.  Fred and Simon are they kind of guys that you want to have a few drinks with on friday night.  In fact I think we did.
