I'll bet that's a kick-ass bottle of Jura he's hauling to the event! I am truly sorry I can’t get to the west coast, because Willie is definitely the kind of guy I’d want to go drinking with!

However, if we have any whisky left over, we plan on bringing to NYC, like we did with the Macallan Whiskymaker's Editions last year.

Sounds like it was a good time. It's always special when you get to taste rare bottles by private individuals. AG, Very nice. Sounds like it was a good time.

The Vancouver Writer's Festival did this this year, as did a tasting put on by a local Vancouver whisky club. I quite like your idea though, so long as whisky makers are able and willing.

I'm curious, which of your local tastings have whiskies where the master blenders or distillery managers create one unique bottle for the event? That's pretty rare and needs to be promoted.

I think it's a great idea, and has been very successful. Most people were happy to support the charities present, and were keen to taste the unique drams offered.
