Beam Suntory Canada’s Bourbon Whiskey Ambassador Matt Jones will be hosting our first Jim Beam pig roast. Matt will be bringing 7 American whiskies and Chef Thien will be serving up a whole roasted pig and a mess of catfish. Matt will be bringing along some new releases as well as a few time honoured classics. How about we add some warm bacon & corn potato salad, collard greens, sweet potato mash and corn bread, then finish of with apple pie topped with bourbon ice cream.

It’s summer, it’s a pig roast and there’s gonna be loads of whiskey. What could possibly go wrong, ehm I mean how great does this sound.

Matt has been representing the Jim Beam family, Maker’s Mark, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden’s, Baker’s and Booker’s Small Batch Collection since 2010. Matt spreads the gospel of whiskey across Canada with a cocktail and culinary approach. In 2016 he was recognized by Whisky Magazine’s Icons of Whisky as World Whisky Ambassador of the Year and 2017’s Global American Whiskey Ambassador of the year.

This is sure to be another great night of food, whiskey and distillery tales.

Mackillop’s Choice

The fascinating spirit represents Anchor Brewing Company’s attempt to re-create the original whiskey of America. This release was distilled in a small copper pot still at Anchor’s distillery on San Francisco’s Potrero Hill, from a mash of 100% rye malt. Rye was the grain of choice for America’s first distillers, and using a mash of 100% rye malt produces a uniquely American whiskey. Aging in handmade oak barrels–lightly toasted in the traditional manner–imparts a wonderfully subtle flavor to this 18th-century-style American whiskey. (In the 18th century, barrels were made by heating the staves over a fire of oak chips, allowing them to be bent and formed into a barrel shape. During this process, the inside of the barrel would become toasted–but not charred.) For aging, Anchor chose several uncharred oak barrels–both new and used–to achieve the balanced complexity that complements this whiskey’s unique heritage.

Old Potrero Single Malt 18th Century Style Whiskey (750ml) ($59.99)

Invergordon 40 year old, 1977 Sovereign Scotch Whisky

Invergordon Distillery is a bit of a ‘cat among the pigeons’ in the whisky world. Based towards northern Scotland it is somewhat out of place, due to being located among among the malt whiskey counterparts and so far from the belt of Scotland’s grain distilleries across central and southern Scotland. But being the grain outlier distillery has done no harm. In fact, Invergordon grain whiskey is highly regarded. And among the Independent whiskey bottling companies of Scotland, Invergordon single grain scotch whiskey is a reliable friend. Hunter Laing & Co. are one of a number of the ‘indies’ who cottoned on to this a long while ago and a handful of heavy vintage, single cask whiskies from Invergordon under their The Sovereign range. This latest release bottled in February 2017 is no different.
