🥃 Opening Dram

Early summer has a way of inviting conversation to linger a little longer. The evenings stretch out, the air softens, and a dram taken slowly feels perfectly in step with the season.

One of the quiet pleasures of whisky is that it rewards patience. The first sip introduces the spirit; the second begins the conversation. By the third, you may find the whisky telling you something you hadn’t expected.

Think of this month’s dram as a gentle reminder that good whisky rarely rushes.

🏴 Featured Whisky

Whisky of the Month: Glenmorangie 10 Year Old (The Original)

Highlands · Single Malt · 40% ABV

Few whiskies demonstrate balance as gracefully as Glenmorangie 10. Matured in American oak casks, it offers a lighter Highland style that remains remarkably expressive.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Citrus, peach, vanilla, soft floral notes
• Palate: Honey, malt sweetness, orange peel
• Finish: Clean, bright, and lightly sweet

🌎 Beyond Scotland

Japanese Whisky Sidebar: Nikka Coffey Grain

Distilled by Nikka Whisky, this whisky is produced in a traditional Coffey still, creating a remarkably silky texture.

Caramel, vanilla, and tropical fruit appear immediately, offering a sweeter profile than many Scotch whiskies. Side-by-side with Glenmorangie, notice how both share elegance—yet arrive there by entirely different paths.

📝 Society Notes

Our next Society gathering will be announced shortly. Keep an eye on omahawhisky.org for details.

• Members are encouraged to begin keeping tasting notes—Appearance, Aroma, Taste, and Finish. Over time, these notes become a personal whisky library.
• If you discover a dram worth sharing, send your recommendation to briefing@omahawhisky.org

Society grows best through shared stewardship.

✒ Closing Thought

A dram enjoyed alone can be memorable.
A dram shared becomes a story.

Until next month, Sláinte
