The GOODS from The Irish Heather

Vancouver, BC | Single-malt whisky lovers can sample rare tipples straight from Scotland when an ambassador from one of the country’s premier distilleries pays Vancouver a visit.

On Thursday, Oct. 30, join Ruaraidh MacIntyre, the Ardbeg/Glenmorangie brand ambassador, for a wonderful whisky supper at The Irish Heather and Shebeen Whisk(e)y House which is the official Ardbeg Embassy in Vancouver, BC.

The evening will commence with an Ardbeg-based cocktail in the Shebeen. Hobnob with fellow scotch lovers and meet Ruaraidh and staff in a cozy, casual setting. Then revellers will move to the Irish Heather Long Table, where MacIntyre will help you taste your way through Ardbeg 10-year, Ardbeg Auriverdes, Ardbeg Corryvreckan and Ardbeg Uigeadail.

Following the tasting, a savoury supper will be served, including lamb shank pot pie, colcannon mashed potatoes, maple-glazed carrots, with bread pudding, fresh Okanagan fruit and caramel sauce for dessert (served with a surprise whisky pairing). The dinner will also offer vegan, vegetarian, gluten–free and dairy-free options…
