Day of the Dead Distilleries 2026 – Atlanta

Sadness, misery, and woe!

<sniffle sniffle>

Black suits/dark funeral attire: Andy Smith, president – Scotch Clubs of America, is coming to town and bringing 7 deceased friends. Our lineup is the equivalent of that of the 1927 Yankees: Littlemill, Dallas Dhu, Rosebank, Convalmore, Imperial, St Magdalene (I prefer Linlithgow), and Coleburn. These distilleries were permanently closed in the late 20th century due to the whisky lochs crisis, an era when the industry was experiencing sharply declining sales and all of the producers had far too much inventory. In order to survive the downturn, the various groups closed their marginal performing distilleries, those that weren’t environmental regulation compliant, and/or needed new equipment to replace worn out equipment. It was a tough period that saw about 3 dozen distilleries being mothballed.

A note from Andy Smith:

Please join me in Atlanta as I join you and Jack to mourn these deliciously rare single malts in somber unsober communion on the same night that our friends in Los Angeles and San Diego do the same. We will eulogize each whisky as well as the late benefactor/collector, John Pollack, the previous guardian of these delicious mortal remains.

As these bottles are being split between multiple clubs, it is imperative that you reserve online (soon), so that we can manage an accurate distribution of these “spirits”. Please contact us if you have issues reserving online, we will make it work out.

ATTENDANCE IS LIMITED.  We are sorry for your loss.
