Whisky And Wee Bites

OVERVIEW

Indulge in a tasting of whiskies and appetizers that perfectly complement their flavors at the Hopscotch Whisky Bar, a local favorite. A short walk will bring you to this historical venue in the Trinity Royal district, which was rebuilt in the late 19th-century following the Great Saint John Fire of 1877. Shortly after entering the intimate and atmospheric bar, you will retire to the Tartan Room, where a whisky ambassador will conduct the tasting and enlighten you on the finer points of Scottish Highland whiskies and the heritage of Scottish whisky-making. Each of the five half-ounce pours will be thoughtfully paired with an appetizer. They include potato pavé with garlic aioli, a seafood croquette, a meaty cocktail oyster, a steak and mushroom tart and shortbread with whisky chocolate. Whether you are a whisky connoisseur or a newcomer to the world of whisky, this tasting will enhance you appreciation for this iconic Scottish spirit.
