A St. Andrew’s Day Dram Fest
Five Whiskies & an Early Start Scotch Tasting on November 30th 2025
Our next Scotch Tasting at Deacon Brodies Whisky Bar is happening Sunday, November 30th, and this month brings a special schedule change to make room for a proper Scottish celebration.
📌 This tasting will run from 2–4pm instead of the usual 4–6pm.
The earlier start allows guests to linger and enjoy our St. Andrew’s Day festivities, beginning at 6pm.
During RSVP on the form, you’ll see a mandatory question asking whether you plan to stay and keep your table for the celebrations: this helps us plan seating for the evening ahead.
Hosted by David Sharp, this guided tasting features five single malts, each paired with a curated chocolate, along with a snack plate of meat, cheese, and crackers. Expect flavour notes, distillery stories, and the laid-back, cozy Sunday vibe our tastings are known for.
