As already flagged up elsewhere, I will unfortunately be unable to attend this tasting as a family matter means that I now have childcare responsibilities that evening.

List of attendees, and bottles and who is supplying updated in first post.

All have confirmed food orders - thank you.

Sorry - forgot to add the 1977 Cockburn Special Release that TC offered up. Now fixed.

Horrible line-up.

I believe the Ck77 special is from JDAW not TC?

I believe the 10 bottles for the evening are now confirmed and listed correctly above.

JDAW - placemats look correct, although maybe some of the by-line descriptions could be amended to match the bottle descriptions?

JDAW - hold off with making any changes. Just found out that one of the Symingtons might be joining us.

G66

Very nice.
Could you ping me the cost please?

No changes made. Is it too late?

Printing done. Aiming to be there 1800ish or possibly earlier.

Double decanted:
1045 - W70PC
1100 - Ck70 Oporto bottled, original release
1115 - Ck70 2016 release

All good.

Tasting notes stubs created, with links in the first post.

I'll be getting there closer to 1830 tonight.

Massive thanks to Neil for putting this together, and the tenacity to make is still happen after a number of rescheduling issues, and to Neil and Tony for supplying the hard ports. A thoroughly enjoyable evening, and great that Tiago was able to join us as well (and that Harry could stay! Hurrah!).
