Dear Malt Messenger Subscribers,

There are still a few seats to tomorrow night’s Rare Malts tasting at the store. This is the last scheduled whisky tasting of the season, and we are going out with a bang. The tasting which highlights older, rare whiskies as well as those from closed distilleries with culminate in the tasting of a 40 year old bottling of Springbank… Only 4 bottles of this Springbank (exclusive to Kensington Wine Market) were brought into Canada, and the other three bottles are sold. This will be your one and only chance to sample this very rare old whisky.  In addition you will also sample 3 other whiskies from closed distilleries and a couple other rare old gems…

Tomorrow night’s forcast is for thunder, lightning and rain, you probably won’t be golfing so why not join us for a whisky tasting instead! The details follow below, and the tasting is 100% a go… Can you say the same for your tee time?

Slainte!

Rare Malts – Tuesday June 22nd – $80

This is our final Spring whisky tasting, and what a tasting to end the session on. The Rare Malts tastings is our opportunity to showcase whiskies which are rare, older or from closed distilleries. This edition will be no different, and I am very excited about the line-up. The Rare Malts tastings are normally conducted blind so I won’t tell you all the specifics, except to say that we have expressions from Rosebank and Glen Mhor (both of which are closed) and we will also be sampling the new Pittyvaich 20 Year (also closed) and Signatory Springbank 1969 40 Year (exceptionally rare). The Springbank alone retails for more than $1200, and should make the tasting worthwhile.

Space is limited to 20 participants. Call the store, 403-283-8000 or go online www.kensingtonwinemarket.com to register.
