The Corinthian Club showcase Dalmore at monthly Whisky Club Pushing open the heavy gilded door we scurry up the marble stairs, heels clacking and umbrellas dripping before being ushered into our destination - Laird's Room. Looking every bit as lavish as it sounds and complete with subtle Scottish touches, the private dining space is occupied by people from all walks of life who are cleansing their palettes in preparation for consuming the water of life. Welcome to the Whisky Club. The monthly gathering hosted by the Corinthian Club on Glasgow's Ingram Street aims to share the world's finest whisky's with patrons and teach them about the processes involved at the same time. This session focused on the whisky's of the Dalmore distillery near Inverness. At the head of the table, leading the club, were four bottles of the single malt - a 12-year-old, a 15-year-old, an 18-year-old and a somewhat unusual Cigar Malt. Joining them was the charismatic and knowledgeable sommellier, Alessandro Bianchi. This man knows more about whisky than anyone I have ever met. He said: "It's all about exposing people to something different. You don't have to be a connoisseur, it's actually better if you're not because you come without preconceptions. We want to entertain people in an informal setting. It is such a versatile liquor, you can do anything with it. At the end of the day, it is our national drink and very few people in Scotland have an appreciation for whisky. You should be proud of what your country produces. All drams were paired with an array of carefully selected canapés to suit, with everything from Tiramisu to smoked cheese on the menu. The atmosphere was warm and engaging almost as soon as we got our noses in the glasses and Alessandro started talking through the various whiskys. Whisky enthusiasts mingled with those who got lightheaded from smelling a dram and quickly discussions got underway about flavours, notes and comparisons. Alessandro genuinely wanted to feed everyone's appreciation for whisky and, as a result, was rather liberal with his measures on the night as you can see: This led to much laughter, joking, storytelling and general Glasgow banter around the table. We did stop short of dancing on it! The next Whisky Club will take place on December 4. To book, visit the Corinthian's website:
