Scottish Field Merchant's Challenge
As part of an ongoing LFW.CO.UK development we are starting to attach our Joynson's blind-tasting notes from seven years of the Scottish Field Merchant's Challenge - the whisky competition of which we have the most respect.
Every two months seven shop-keepers, hoteliers and un-noteworthy drunks (i.e. not great ‘experts’ like Jacko or ‘Bible’ Jim) are sent 16 or so numbered samples - we have no idea if they are malts, blend or what.
We assess each one, the numbers are crunched and comments edited by the enthusiast and creator Will Gardner for publication in Scottish Field Magazine. Now his website whiskychallenge.com is live with (so far) the last two years (moderated) results from all the judges, please go and investigate while we start to put Richard's unabridged comments throughout this site.
