Finalscotch Tasting 2019

Join us, and your Ivey Alumni colleagues for a premium Scotch and Whiskey tasting to kick off the holiday season. Registration includes tasting of four different high end scotches led by an experienced scotch connoisseur. Appetizers will be served.

While our connoisseur is still diligently picking some of the best scotches for you to try, below showcases what has been featured at this event in previous years. The event has been sold out every year, so register quickly! Attendees must of 19+ in age.

2019 Scotch Tasting Selection:

1-  Bruichladdich “The Black Art”: The fourth release of the legendary Bruichladdich Black Art whisky. With the recipe a mystery to everyone apart from the creator, it's still a cryptic enigma.

2- Bowmore 25 Yr. Old: A 25 year old from the Bowmore distillery aged in American bourbon and Spanish sherry casks. The sherry influence combines wonderfully with the coastal, smoky distillery style to create a sublime aged single malt.

3- Dalmore “King Alexander”: A sextuple-wood bottling from Dalmore. This auspiciously-named dram was matured in wine, Madeira, Sherry, Marsala, Kentucky bourbon and Port casks. King Alexander III is a rich, fruity Highland single malt.

4- Springbank 18 Yr. Old: This is the second edition of the established mauve-packaged 18 year old Springbank. The multi-award-winning Campbeltown single malt has been matured in ex-bourbon casks, so expect a big, coastal, oily flavour from this one.
