EVENT POSTPONED – Scotch Tasting Lessons – CARRIED TO EARLY 2012
Unbeknownst to many, the flavours of scotch whisky are as diverse as wine, and range from light, fruity and floral, to full bodied and sherried, to smoky and peaty, and everything in between. There are over 100 whisky distilleries in Scotland in 5 or 6 distinct areas and each tries to make a distinct product. One object of this affair (the first being social) is to learn how to explore the four elements of a whisky: nose, taste, finish and balance, in terms the beginner can understand, and to find the type of whisky that you prefer (or perhaps to confirm that you are a dedicated rye-coke person). You will also learn the difference between: single malt whisky, blended whisky and blended malts (aka vatted malts). Cost is $25 per person which will cover product, glass rental, and snacks (served after the tasting so as not to damage the palate). Space will be limited to 22 only, to allow for an educational event so please indicate your interest early – First Come First Served. This event will be graciously hosted by Gary Nijman at the offices of Alexander Holburn Beaudin & Lang LLP, #2700-700 West Georgia Street. Thanks Gary!
