World Whiskey Seminar
Next Thursday, October 5th, 6:30 - 8:30
In Our Cellar
This is the chance to sort it all out: why does one bottle state "Whiskey" and another says "Whisky"? Why does a bottle from the "highlands" taste different from one in the "lowlands"? What does that even mean? Or why do we order a glass of Scotch but asking for a glass of "Irish" sounds odd? What IS this wide world of whisk(e)y? Does it have to be confusing? NO!

Sign up to attend this comprehensive tasting. We will taste and discuss whiskeys from around the world including Scotch, Irish, Indian, English, Canadian. Australian and, of course, American!! A great side by side tasting from around the world. We'll clear up some questions and let you decide what tastes best to you. Raj Sabharwal with Glass Revolution will be here to lead the discussion along with some of the stellar team from Negoce.

Cost is only $25 per person, which will be refunded upon purchase of one of the whiskeys tasted! Tickets available through Eventbrite
