Beam Suntory Whiskey Supper

Here at Gastown's Irish Heather and it's whiskey bar Shebeen, lives one of Western Canada's best whiskey list and we love to share it with people. This event is one such occasion.

Start with a Beam based cocktail in the Shebeen, before being escorted to our 50 ft communal table. Once there, you will receive a flight of 4 x .5 ounce whiskey along with a brief but entertaining description of each. Next comes a main course for supper, followed by dessert.

The line is:

On the Tasting Mat: Hibiki Harmony, Bowmore 15 Darkest, Bowmore 18, Laphroaig Quarter Cask -

these are in order of flavour strength and the peat involved will not over power the other whiskies.

Leading us through this line up is Marcio Ramos, Luxury Brand Ambassador, Beam Suntory Canada.
