This weekend the Kensington Wine Market is marking its 24th Anniversary. We are now almost old enough to rent a car! Every year on our birthday weekend we throw a sale for our customers to help us celebrate, and this year is no different. Today, Friday May 13 through Sunday May 15 most of our inventory is on sale! Save 15% or more on all in stock wines. Save 10% or more on all in stock Whiskies, excluding SMWS whiskies and a few exceptions (see below). And save 5% on instock beer, gin and rum! Our birthday sale weekend is one of the busiest of the year, so the sale is only in store and online only. No phone orders please!

The sale rules and terms are below. I have also highlighted the whiskies and other spirits discounted more than 10%. There are some amazing deals for 15, 20, 25 and 30% off. Some of the items are in short supply and won’t last long. Best of all, if you pop into the shop, there is a very good chance you can try a sample of one of our exciting sale whiskies before you buy!

We have a special visitor tomorrow, George Grant of Glenfarclas Distillery will be popping into KWM for a visit between 11AM and 12:30PM, Saturday May 14. George Farclas will be in store and on hand to talk about Glenfarclas, share some drams and sign bottles. George is a larger than life whisky personality and a great ambassador for his family owned distillery; the second oldest family owned distillery in Scotland. If you’ve never met him, this is your chance, and if you have, you know you won’t want to miss this opportunity to catch up.

Ardbeg Day is fast approaching, and details on the Ardbeg Night festivities should be out soon. We will be holding three Ardbeg Day Master Class tastings at Kensington Wine Market, Saturday May 28: 1-2PM, 3-4PM and 5-6PM. The tastings are just $25 and feature six different Ardbegs including the new Ardbeg Dark Cove release. We have also squirreled away bottles of the Ardbeg Supernova 2014 and Ardbeg Perpetuum just for the occasion.

Finally, if you didn’t see last night’s announcement, KWM has made a contribution to the Red Cross for the Fort McMurray disaster relief. We have two further opportunities coming up in June which will help contribute to the relief efforts. We are partnering with Compass Box Whisky, Authentic Wine & Spirits and Peasant Cheese to put on special tasting with Chris Maybin on June 2nd. And we are just ironing out the details for a special Macallan event with Dan Volway on June 8. Details will be finalized and announced early next week!

I hope you enjoy this Malt Messenger Bulletin, and look forward to greeting you in store with a dram!
