Annual Oktoberfest Beer Tasting

Our annual Oktoberfest Beer Tasting is just around the corner, this Saturday from 1-5pm to be exact, and it’s going to be better than ever.  With over 35 beers to sample from that will pair brilliantly with the fatty brats and sausages that we will be grilling, this is an event not to be missed.  As always this is a FREE event so the more friends and family members you bring, the more fun we will all have.  Hope to see everyone there!! PROST!!

The Ardbeg Rocket Tour!

Friday, September 27th from 4-7pm

Along with a massive rocket we will be showing an incredible line up from Ardbeg:

10yr, Corryvreckan, Uigeadail and… well, you will just have to find out for yourself

If you are not a fan already, it is time to become one.  Ardbeg is just so good.  Revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance.  Typically most whiskies are chill-filtered and reduced to a strength of 40% ABV. Ardbeg Ten Years Old, however, is non chill-filtered and has a strength of 46% ABV, thus retaining maximum flavour, at the same time giving more body and added depth.

Aussie gems that are 10+ years old and less than $20!!

Around this time last year, I came upon a wine that blew me away, the wine was Brothers in Arms Shiraz Langhorne Creek 2001.  I wrote an email about the Brothers in Arms and received fantastic reviews from everyone that tried it.  Unfortunately, these sort of deals only happen once a year.  This year, I was once again fortunate enough to get the latest release of library wines, and again, Australia hit the mark with not one, but two fantastic bottlings.

Kilchoman and Arran Malt

Ed Kohl

Ed Kohl, Managing Director of ImpEx Beverages, Inc. is presenting two single malt Scotch Whiskys this evening, along with a little history and expertise that you cannot find just anywhere.  Ed is a leading whisky expert and spirit specialist, and conducts more than 100 educational seminar tastings every year.  This is an opportunity to learn about Whisky in a small, casual setting hosted by an expert with over 17 years of experience.

Ed will show remarkable expressions of Island Scotch from Kilchoman and Arran.  Featuring the Inaugural and 2.0 releases, and the Machir Bay 2012 release by the Kilchoman Distillery, the smallest distillery in Scotland.  As well, he will show a too often overlooked 10yr offering from Arran and the limited release 12yr cask strength.

The seminar is free, but space is limited so please reserve a place at either 5:30 or 6:30.  There will be open tasting and Q&A following each presentation.

Reservations can be made by emailing Tim
