The Scots Cellar Whisky Tasting for Melbourne Tartan Festival

In partnership with Melbourne Tartan Festival.

Whisky collecting as long been a popular hobby of the whisky enthusiast. In 2015 Italy's Valentino Zagatti made world headlines when he sold his vintage collection to Dutch investment company Scotch Whisky International. Infamously, he sold the collection on with the proviso that it was made available to the public for viewing, a legacy that shows that whisky collecting is not only for the hard line investor.

Whisky & Alement was established in 2010, and Owner Julian White has been collecting his rare and favourite drams for over a decade. The collection has one sole purpose - to be shared. Join Julian for a formal tasting of his personal cellar picks.

Includes:

• 6 x 15ml rare single malt whiskies
• James Eadie's Trade Mark "X"
• Ardnamurchan Paul Launois Champagne wine cask inaugural release.
• Bunnahabhain 1998 Calvados Cask finish for the Feis Ile 2022
• Deanston 23 year old Oloroso sherry cask matured
• Ardmore 1991 by Gordon & Macphail cask strength bottled 2007
• Williamson 8 year old by Shinanoya For the British fair Kobe 2021. 
• Light snacks (we recommend eating before or after the tasting)
