***
Ladies and gentlemen,

I’m saddened to announce that the Burns Night Dinner, scheduled for 26 January 2017, will have to be cancelled due to personal reasons.

This decision was not an easy one, but since we are only a small number of people, we can only ensure to provide you with the best entertainment if the full Committee is available.

We will transfer the money you paid us immediately back to your bank account and will keep you informed once our next event is scheduled and we will be back in full strength.

We thank you for your consideration.

For the Committee

Each pack contains a brochure further detailing the Whisky, the Chocolate and the fun we had as Committee whilst finding the perfect match in each case.

The box will be on sale for the of 40€ per kit.

We can ensure you it's an awesome experience, both for more experienced whisky enthusiasts as well as for beginners.

New Club Bottle - Glendronach 2004 Port Pipe Cask Number 3340

10/19/2016

Dear whisky lovers,

Pursuant to the summer break, and just in time for long autumn nights, we are proud to release a new club bottle for you to enjoy.

It's a 2004 Glendronach which has been in a port pipe for 12 years. So to be clear this Speysider is not a port finish but has been left its entire life in wood touched by that wonderful liquid. We got a decent amount of bottles out of the cask which we can offer you. Price for members is 75€. You may buy more than one.

If you want to get your hands on our new bottling, we kindly ask you to write us an e-mail to info@whiskyclublux.com and the money should be transferred to our bank account with the Postal Bank Luxembourg :

IBAN LU94 1111 2553 9187 0000
Code BIC : CCPLLULL

With the communication « WCL Glendronach »

PS: Unfortunately, we are not offering any shipping options.

Kind regards,

Jerome
