March Madness

We’re back!

Alrighty folks, the drought is over and it’s time for tastings once again. In this spirit we’ll be tackling this event with a March Madness theme.

Here’s how it will work:

Everyone be assigned to a conference consisting of two whiskies, and then we’ll do blind tastings. For every match up, everyone will choose either A or B, and the winner (most votes) will move on to the next round. After 3 match ups (and 6 drinks) we will have our winner. Not everyone will be able to try every whiskey, but everyone will have the two best.
