The Kindred Spirits Society: A Conversation on Single Malts and Poetry

What is a Single Malt?

Where can it be made?

Does price really matter?

Join us for a virtual discussion to answer these questions and dive into the process of how a Single Malt is made by some of your favorite distillers from field to bottle.

You'll come out knowing the in's and outs of what makes one of the most beloved spirits the world has ever known.

Ticket includes;

  • Entry into the Virtual class, hosted on zoom.

  • Panel of 4 Single Malts, 1.5oz each.

  • Option to add-on two additional limited release Single Malts, 1 oz each.

Tasting will be delivered blind to you and each will be revealed at the end of the tasting. This is to ensure no brand bias in the tasting for a true and honest analysis of the spirits. Bottles will be in the MSRP Range of $60-$130 for the main 4 and $150+ for the add-on samples. As it sits now, the panel is as follows in no particular order.

  • Nikka From the Barrel

  • Macallan 15 Double Cask

  • Westland Sherry Cask

  • Springbank 12 Cask Strength

  • Ardbeg Kelpie Committee Release

  • Highland Park Tattoo, 16 year Rioja Wine cask finished

If you have any questions about the panel or the event, feel free to email me at drew@btrsconsulting.com. The tasting is subject to change if I am able to get something better! Also the listing above is not the order the samples will be delivered in.

Lastly;

Known familiarly as Rabbie Burns, the National Bard, Bard of Ayrshire and the Ploughman Poet and various other names and epithets, Robert Burns was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. Every year in mid-January, whisky lovers around the world gather to toast a dram and enjoy some of the best poetry (and whisky) to come out of Scotland.

We will be joined by none other than Chad Robinson, Washington, DC's premier poet and whiskey nerd, who will recite poetry from himself and Burns.
