Description
As the Rosenbach’s annual Burns Night celebration approaches, join us for an exclusive, unforgettable experience sampling Scotch and learning about the history and tradition of this legendary drink.
Immersed in the elegant surroundings of the Rosenbach’s dining room, Rosenbach Delancey Society member and Scotch expert Rick Davis will guide guests through a tasting of four different Scotch whisky samples, with a focus on techniques to get the most out of each sample. While we move through our samples, Rick will offer an overview of what is (and is not) whisky and explore key points around production, storage, buying, and more. Each attendee will receive a printed handout summarizing key information to take home, as well as some helpful visual references that will be discussed during the tasting.
