Mark Twain once said, “Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough.” Treat your tastebuds to some Scotch whisky at two tasting events in the parks in November.
On Saturday, Nov. 14, 2020, Green Spring Gardens hosts a “Scotch Whisky and Cheese Tasting” for adults age 21 and older. Few foods so perfectly complement Scotch whisky as cheese. Both have unique and wide-ranging flavor profiles, so there’s a cheesy counterpart for each distinctive pour. Sample delicious pairings of cheese and single malts and learn how to savor the two separately and together. The program runs from 4 to 6 p.m., and the cost is $60 per person.
