In 2014, LA Scotch Club met months before Peatin’ Meetin’ for a little BBQ to get the season going… and we’re going to do it again. Join us for an ol’ school night of peat smoked bbq and peated whisky. This year we’re going to feature Kilchoman distillery, but this is no little sponsored tasting, we’ll be going through NINE expressions (or more), many of them collectible bottles that have been hiding in boxes for years. This will be EPIC Kilchoman.

Just as we did in 2014, we’ll enjoy the day in John McDonald’s South Pasadena backyard while smoking steak over Irish peat.

It will be the best night of the year… till August 24th, that is.

The first Kilchoman Vintage release (a series of bottlings which specifies the year of distillation) to combine oloroso sherry and bourbon casks.

Aged in a combination of oloroso-sherry and bourbon casks, this shows excellent balance between peat smoke and sweet citrus flavors.
