Tickets are now on sale for our April 16th tasting. Ralph Rooke, Brand Ambassador for Dalmore, will be moderating a tasting of 8 whiskies. We’ll be tasting 5 whiskies from Dalmore: The 12, 15 and 18 Year Old whiskies, the Cigar Malt and the King Alexander. We’ll also be tasting 2 whiskies from the Isle of Jura: Superstition and Prophecy. And finally we’ll be tasting the legendary Mackinlay’s Shackleton Rare Old Highland Malt. If you aren’t familiar with the story of Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Endurance expedition and his recently discovered cache of whisky in Antarctica, it really is an epic story well documented in photos and an excellent documentary. (read more here).
It really will be a great night at our usual venue, Waterman Grille, and tickets are available for purchase for $30 at Bottles Fine Wine. Although we normally sell out quickly, I expect this tasting to sell out very quickly, both because of the great lineup of whiskies to be tasted, but also because WhiskyRI is growing each month.
We’ll be doing the usual raffle at the end of the night to help raise money for Operation Stand Down Rhode Island, dedicated to helping homeless veterans. in 2012 we raised $400 and so far in 2013 we’ve already raised $210
