A quick note from Bill Sommerville at the Claymore Times;

I’m always running into Roberto Difazio at one function or another, Roberto is the president of the Kingston Single Malt Society which has been in operation since 1998.

The group is about 75 strong and meet on a monthly basis to enjoy a fine meal in the company of three single malts.

The Kingston Single Malt Society is a club specializing in the tasting of Single Malts from a wide variety of places. They gather a number of times per year usually on the third Monday of the month. Dinners in the months of December, July and Au-gust are reserved for special events. Dinners move from venue to venue with some of the dinners held at the Vimy or Fort Frontenac Officers’ Mess on Canadian Forces Base Kingston where we dine on a Five course meal coupled with a fine sampling of at least three single malt whiskies.

Each dinner samples single malts from a specific region of Scotland, Ireland or the world. The only condition is that they are single malts. With the whole world to choose from we often find that the best and most widely known Single Malts come from the Regions of Scotland. For each dinner a selection of Single Malts is made sometimes from each of the regions of Scotland. On occasion we choose a single malt from elsewhere in the world.

Roberto welcomes new members and visiting whisky enthusiasts and asks that you contact him directly for more information at rdifazio@cogeco.ca or 613-634-0397
