Whiskey tasting set for April 26.
The City of Alexandria's Sister Cities Committee invites you to attend its annual signature event, a whisky tasting, set for Saturday, April 26 at 5 p.m. at the Alexandria History Museum, The Lyceum, 201 S. Washington St.
(We also learned that whisky from Scotland, Canada and Japan is spelled "whisky," while Irish and U.S. whiskey is spelled with an "e.")
Join committee members for an evening of Scotch and camaraderie as whisky enthusiasts lead a guided tasting across the five whisky regions of Scotland.
This informative program will help you learn all about the rich tapestry that is Scotch whisky, enable you to sample five different whiskies from across Scotland, and provide an opportunity to ask questions and share personal insights. VIP ticket holders will be provided two additional samples of distinctive and hard-to-find whiskies. Hors d'oeuvres will be provided. For non-whisky drinkers, wine and non-alcoholic beverages will be available.
Ticket holders will take home with them their very own souvenir Glencairn glass to continue their exploration of the diverse and complex world of Scotch. A raffle will take place at the end of the event for fun prizes. Raffle tickets will be sold for cash at the event.
All proceeds from the event aid the Alexandria Sister Cities Committee’s mission to support the educational and cultural exchanges between Alexandria, VA and her sister cities of Dundee, Scotland and Helsingborg, Sweden.
Tickets are $60; $80 for VIP registration.
