Happy New Year and welcome to 2018!
When Allura and I started on this journey in 1986, we didn’t know where we’d end up, but here we are 31 years later with one of the largest whisky selections in the world. It’s been an amazing journey and along the way we’ve made countless friends from near and far. We know we couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you and all of the people we’ve employed throughout the years. On behalf of Allura, myself and our hard-working team we’d like to thank you all and wish everyone a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year.
With the largest selection in the country we have over 1300 whiskies from 11 countries and whisky from more than 100 Scottish distilleries, more importantly we’ve collected hundreds of whisky loving friends from all over the world.
How should we celebrate? How about a whisky pairing dinner?
To celebrate the new year and all things Fets and Whisky, we’re hosting a whisky pairing dinner on Tuesday January 23rd. The UK’s John McCheyne, the top whisky ambassador from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, will be in town to share 6 of the Society’s rare, cask strength, single barrel whiskies with us. Chef Thien and his team will be creating 6 very special dishes to pair with The Society’s Uisge Beatha (the water of life). Tickets are available here
We still have a couple of copies available of The East Van Foodie book on sale at The Kitchen for only $45, add this to a Whisky Kitchen Gift Card and you’ve got a great whisky and food lovers gift!
The monthly Hand Crafted Spirits Radio Show with Joe Leary and Darryl Lamb is still being hosted at The Kitchen. Tune in to TSN Radio 1410 at noon on the first Saturday of each month. you can click here to listen to past broadcasts
We still have the largest whisky selection in the country with nearly 800 different whiskies on our shelves, including 200, cask strength single barrel bottlings from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. We also have representation from over 100 Scottish distilleries. Life is good here at The Kitchen.
Our Partner Scotch Malt Whisky Society retailer is Legacy Liquor Store in the Olympic Village and host to our monthly Society Outturns on the first Tuesday and Wednesday of the month. Allura and I present on the Tuesday.
Whisky Dinner Tuesday January 23rd
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society is the world’s foremost whisky club with over 27,000 members world wide. The society bottles about 300 casks per year that are only available to members. Fets became the 19th bar in the world to partner with the society and we have the largest selection of society whiskies in the world.
The society’s award winning whiskies are packaged in their iconic green bottles without the distillery name but rather using a mysterious numbering system. As the whiskies are single barrel and cask strength they don’t always depict the distillery’s typical flavour profile. These are some of the best and rarest whiskies in the world. As they are single barrel whiskies the outturn of each release is dictated by the size and contents of the cask, we have some bottlings with as few as 72 bottles for all the world to share.
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s top UK ambassador, John McCheyne will be in town for his first visit to The Kitchen. Along with tales from afar, John will be bringing with him 6 of the society’s rare cask strength single barrel whiskies.
Chef Thien and his team are creating 6 stunning dishes to pair with these great whiskies. This will be a most memorable night.
This is sure to be another great night of food, whisky and distillery tales.
Why not grab one of our limited tickets and join us on Tuesday January 23rd for some great whisky and food.
Tickets are limited and I can assure you, as always, they sell out fast.
