This site gives an on-line presence to Jolly Toper Tastings. The tastings exist to allow established and new whisky drinkers to try rare, obscure, expensive but primarily good drams that otherwise might be difficult to track down, afford and taste. Beyond this the bespoke tastings offer the chance to commission a tasting for your own needs. As the site matures we hope to add a picture gallery and other features. In the meantime- dram on!Poetry Competition.

A Whisky, Oh Dizzy
thread of a story, the fabric of fable
national pride and scourge of Scotland
a glass of time delicately distilled
the taxman’s tonic, the doctor’s orders
two’s just fine, three’s not enough
the truth of grain, deceitful deeds
crystal crashing super-premium breathalyser
skirlin’ and whirlin’ and birlin’ in bed
tartan tat and Johnnie and Jack
never again or hair of the dog
nurture the nature, muster the maltster
so brew the peck and profess the pot still
