On Thursday, March 22nd (yes, that
is next Thursday) at 7pm we are inviting people to join us somewhere in Toronto as we welcome James Robertson from Tullibardine to guide 40 of us through a tasting of 6 whiskies from a distillery that is a personal favourite of mine.
The evening will feature various vintages and cask finishes from Tullibardine as well as food pairings designed to accentuate the flavours of the whiskies, and as always there is a nominal fee required for entry to offset some of the cost of putting the whole thing together.
How much? $20.
Yes. You read that correctly. The whole event will only cost twenty dollars per person.
Now, as is often the case with such a unique and special event, we have to cap the number of attendees. This time the cap is due to the available quantity of a few of the whiskies. Therefore it is a very hard cap for which there can be no exceptions.
With that in mind we'll be accepting requests from those who email us on a first-come, first-served basis. After all the seats are filled, we will then be keeping a waiting list. For everyone who fits into the first 40, you will receive an email next week, from me personally, with the exact location of the tasting. For those who need to hang tight on the waiting list, I will also email you so that you can be on guard should a last minute spot open up.
So how do you confirm your desire to attend? Well, if you look to your right, you will see how to "Contact Us". So please do send an email, otherwise it makes it very difficult for me to email you back with the details.
On behalf of everyone at ScotchBlog.ca, we are truly looking forward to sharing this special evening with you.
