It’s that time of year! We're not talking about pumpkin spice: we're talking about Scotchtober! To celebrate the season, the Whiskey Library is partnering with Speyside distillery Benriach to bring you a spooky-good in-person tasting of their new lineup.
In this guided tasting, the Whiskey Library team will walk participants through the Benriach 10 Year, Smoky 10 Year, 12 Year, and the Smoky 12 Year — as well as some very special and limited bottles. We've worked some Whiskey Library magic (just in time for Halloween) and will offer the Benriach Smoke Season and either the 25-or 30-year expressions. Epic, right!?
Join us in person on Monday October 25 us at 7:00pm at Crimson in downtown Washington, DC for an amazing tasting. Your $25 ticket includes entry to the event, a tasting pour of every whisky in the tasting, and small bites.
Due to COVID-19 safety protocols, only 20 seats are available — buy your ticket now to make sure you don't miss out.
