What: Scottish Tobacco turns 28 years old – Cigar & Spirits Celebration
When: September 20, 2024 (Friday) @ 2:00PM – 9:00 PM
Where: Scottish Tobacco, 2625 Piedmont Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30324
(Next door to Bank of America, Piedmont & Sidney Marcus Blvd)
Who: You’re Invited! Please bring a friend.
Whom: Jack Smith, Keeper of the Quaich, Certified Specialist of Spirits, and
President – Metro Atlanta Scotch Club
Words: Shafi Hai, Owner – Dr Gaby Kafie (Kafie) – Prof Mel Gonzalez (Canimao)
Why: Good whisky and cigars are made great when shared among friends
Word: https://scotchclub.com/event/092024Scottish/
20% Discount: There couldn’t be a better way to celebrate our 28th Anniversary than to discount
all cigars (except AF Opus X and GOF) by 20% and to invite good friends. Owner Shafi Hai has
invited Gaby Kafie, MD, and Mel Gonzalez (I call him the Professor), and you. So do participate
by dropping by on Friday afternoon or evening, grab a good cigar: we recommend Mel
Gonzalez’s Canimao and Gaby Kafie’s Kafie 1901 cigars. And, may I add, that our complimentary
spirits menu is also praiseworthy? In the Bourbon/Rye category, I picked Old Forester Signature
Bourbon which is a good 100-proof bourbon and Masterson’s Canadian Rye at 90-proof. In the
Cognac category, let’s try the hidden gem known as Augier Le Singulier, from Pernod-Ricard.
From the European duty-free stores (not available in the US), we will taste the Hennessy Pure
White, an unaged cognac that is allocated due to its popularity on the continent. Moving to the
Rum category, Ron del Barrilito Three Stars is my selection from Puerto Rico whereas Havana
Club Cuban Rum (not available in the US) got the nob as our Big Island rum choice. Our final
category in Whisky and, specifically, Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Aberlour 12-Year is an
approachable dram in the aperitif or ‘tweener style. Bowmore 10-Year is a moderately peated
single malt aged in Oloroso sherry casks. This expression is called ‘Dark & Intense’ and is
available exclusively in the European and Mexican, Central/South American duty-free stores. So,
do drop by Scottish Tobacco and bring a friend as ‘Good spirits and cigars are made great when
shared among friends’.

Liz’s Lowlander Launch - Bladnoch Single Malt
2024-09-19 19:00 (America/New_York) | Goodfellas Pizza, 2031 Cobb Pkwy SE.,, Marietta, GA, 30060, United States
Liz’s Lowlander Launch – Bladnoch Single Malt: In 2021, Chuck, Raj, and I had the pleasure of visiting the lovely newly-rebuilt BLADNOCH Distillery by the Scottish Borders. Is Bladnoch a good malt? It’s a great dram, as evidence by my expenditure of $900 for 3 special releases! So, I’m looking forward to our Bladnoch event.
Let’s start the evening with Bladnoch Vinaya which was conventionally aged in a combination of bourbon or sherry casks for its full maturation. It was bottled at 46.7% ABV, non-chill-filtered, and no coloration added. Samsara is aged for about 11-years (although no age guarantee is recorded on its label) in Bourbon and red wine casks. It’s also 46.7% ABV and NCF. Next up is Alinta, a peated dram from PX sherry and bourbon casks. This one comes in at 47% ABV and is NCF.
Liora is Bladnoch’s first core expression at cask strength. After maturation in new oak and bourbon casks, it was bottled at 52.2% ABV without reduction. We will wind things up with 2 aged statement expressions. The 11-Year was aged exclusively in fresh bourbon barrels of charred American white oak and bottled at 46.7% ABV without filtration or coloration. Its 14- Year was matured in Oloroso sherry casks for its full maturation and then bottled at 46.7% ABV on a NCF and NCA basis, all being best practices. Do come and bring a good friend to chat with Liz Espy and enjoy the whisky creations of Nick Savage, Ph.D. (Engr), and David Prior, the owner of Bladnoch Distillery.
May I suggest: Don’t miss this one!

As the Scotch calendar lists September-thru-March as the unofficial whisky season, let’s have a dandy pre-season dramming session.
Waterford’s The Cuvée is a vatting of 25 of its organic Irish single malts, each of the expressions was based on the crop of a single farm with each farm’s soil type agroecologically paired with the ideal Irish heirloom barley variety.
Prichard’s is a top-tier American craft distillery. We will try its American single malt. What’s my favorite 13-Yr single malt? That would be Craigellachie.
Awesome, a must have! Suntory Global’s malt master and I were once asked our favorite Beam-Suntory (now Suntory Global) single malt: we both answered Glen Garioch, thus forsaking Ardmore, Auchentoshan, Bowmore and Laphroaig).
Fettercairn is the most disrespected Highland single malt. Let’s work on correcting that injustice. I like Ardbeg and my favorite expression is its Uigeadail, which is finished in Oloroso casks.
Our cuisine will be delicious, so do please join us and bring a friend, because “Good whisky is made great when shared among friends.”

The Michael Ries Tasting
2024-04-27 17:00 (America/Chicago) | The Overland Park Partio, 8910 W 132nd Ter., Overland Park, KS, 66213, United States
Who is Michael Ries?
Michael is many things. He is one of the original and primary members of LA Scotch Club. He is a member of LA Whisk(e)y Society. He is a member of Malt Nuts. He runs the SoCal Whiskey Society. He’s big. He’s known. He’s been made a Kentucky Colonel. He’s Andy’s drinking buddy, with whom some of the rarest scotches in the world have been shared.
He’s visiting Kansas City. Per his request, we are not going to tread meekly. He’s asked for a raucous time with good scotch, and so he shall have it.
Included in this tasting: Andy will be sharing some rare bottles. You won’t have heard of them, but they are at a level not tried in Kansas yet. Old stuff. Rare stuff. If you know what a Braevel SMWS 113.3 is, then you’ll understand. If not, just accept you are going to experience scotch beyond anything you have had before.
Food: Michael loves burnt-ends. For fun, we are going to include a BLIND burnt-ends tasting with meat from Arthur Bryant, Gates, Q39, Joe’s, and Jack Stack. Included in the price.
The weather is scheduled to be great. We’ll be on Andy Smith’s patio starting at 5 and going on all night.

We’ll have Michael Henry, the master blender of the Loch Lomond Group zooming into our LIVE event in LA. Loch Lomond will have some single casks in the mix this night and their other asset, Littlemill, will be in attendance too. The Littlemill 27yr, retailing for $3000 will be in attendance in all its splendor. We’ll have another Littlemill in the mix from the fine independent bottler Cadenhead’s… and then we’ll pivot to a few more dead distillery rarities. My sympathies for your loss .
This event will begin at 12:30pm, just after lunch, to allow Michael to zoom in from Scotland (and Andy to get back to Kansas City by midnight.)

“March Malty” – A Whisky Tasting Dinner: Now that we’ve successfully survived St. Patrick’s Day, it’s time for the March Malts. I bet that you haven’t had a wee dram of Strathmill, Bladnoch, Edradour, Raasay, or SPEY single malt Scotch recently. Well, here is the solution:
Let’s taste all 5 of the aforementioned whiskies and the great Ardbeg’s BlaaacK limited edition from 2020. Strathmill is the key malt in the J&B Rare Blend, Bladnoch Vinaya is from a 50:50 of first-fill bourbon and fresh sherry casks, Edradour 2002 Vintage 10-Yr is da bomb, Raasay is the best young single malt from among the last decades new distilleries (except Lochlea): it is stunningly good.
The orphaned SPEY (Speyside Distillery allowed its property to be sold to another distiller) makes an excellent malt. Let’s watch for the build-out of their Aviemore distillery. Ardbeg: enough said, so let’s taste BlaaacK.
Our cuisine… all four courses… will be delightful, so do please join us and bring a friend: “Good whisky is made great when shared among friends.”

Leap Year Day 2024
2024-02-29 19:00 (America/New_York) | Goodfellas Pizza, 2031 Cobb Pkwy SE.,, Marietta, GA, 30060, United States
“Leap into March” – A Leap-Year-Day Tasting Dinner
Our whisky menu is quite promising and our soup/salad/entrée/desert at the new GoodFellas Bar & Grill will be delicious. We will begin our whisky flight with the 1990 vintage Glencadam 20-Year from Gordon & Macphail (1895).
Fettercairn offers a unique taste profile that’s just right for our second pour: the 1997 vintage )19-Year) single cask from MMCD (Murray McDavid). Our third and featured whisky is Bladnoch 26-Year, its 2020 limited ‘distillery exclusive’ release. It’s a real cracker that I’m sure you will enjoy.
I have an on-going internal debate which Dalmore core expression is better: Dalmore Cigar Malt or 1263 King Alexander III. For this event, I’ve landed on Dalmore Cigar Malt. It was created decades ago to accompany fine cigars (no smoking at our event). Thankfully, it was bottled at the decent strength of 44% ABV.
Ben Nevis is my nominee as the most underrated great single malt that you will ever have the pleasure of discovering. It offers an array of rich sherry flavors and will pair up well with our previous pour. GlenAllachie Lum Reek is a lightly peaked blended malt (GlenAllachie & BenRiach) that really works whereas Lagavulin, our final dram, affords a power arsenal of maritime flavors.
Do please join us and bring a friend: “Good whisky is made great when shared among friends.”

2024-02-08 19:00 (America/New_York) | Goodfellas Pizza, 2031 Cobb Pkwy SE.,, Marietta, GA, 30060, United States
THE ESPY HOUSE
Located in historic Bedford, Pennsylvania. was built around 1771. At the time, it was considered one of the
most beautiful homes in all of Bedford. several famous Americans have occupied the house over the years,
but none more so than president George Washington. He used the house as his headquarters during the
Whiskey Rebellion of 1794. Today, the ESPY House is owned by Todd Eichelberger who was inspired so
much by the history of this historic location that he created a whiskey of superior taste and prestige to
commemorate the house and its historic inhabitants.
COLONEL DAVID ESPY
The ESPY House was named after colonel David Espy who was a very influential and prominent business
man and politician In Bedford, Pennsylvania during the late 1700’s. he was also a revolutionary war activist
who Aided troops with supplies and helped keep the peace in a highly volatile period of American history.
TODD EICHELBERGER
Is the owner of ESPY House Spirits LLC and of The Espy House (֊1771).
THE WHISKEY REBELLION
In 1794, congress repealed a tax on distilled spirits, but replaced it with a new one causing the onset of
what was later known as the “Whiskey Rebellion.” Western Pennsylvania residents were unceremoniously
informed that the new tax would be collected, by force if necessary. They felt the tax was unfair and
organized the first rebellion against the fledgling US government. President George Washington mobilized
12,950 troops from eastern Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey under general Harry Lee,
with the intent on quelling the rebellion and asserting the government’s authority to enact and enforce
laws. The rebellion ended with only minor confrontations and no loss of life.

Loch Lomond/Glen Scotia/Littlemill w/ Forbes McMullin
2024-01-25 19:00 (America/Chicago) | Private Home – Overland Park, 8910 W 132nd Ter., Overland Park, KS, 66213, United States
Have you ever had a $3000 scotch? Would you like to?
Forbes McMullin of Loch Lomond distillers will be flying to town to visit us. The company has two active distilleries, Loch Lomond and Glen Scotia, and a ‘dead’ distillery, Littlemill, now forever closed, that began in the 1700s.
Forbes will be sharing the following bottles:
Glen Scotia Double Cask
Glen Scotia 15yr
Glengarry
Glengarry 12yr
Loch Lomond 12yr
Loch Lomond 18yr
Loch Lomond Kerr Cellars
One more thing…
Forbes has arranged to get us a price break on the $3000 bottle of Littlemill 27yr, a thing of true beauty. The club will buy it for $2000 and it would take 50 of us paying $40 each to cover the cost. Are there 50 of us in this new club? No, but our LA club will soak up the rest, so no worries.
Wonder what that pour of Littlemill 27yr would cost you at a bar (we’re talking a nice Vegas casino to even find it)? Well, it would be a $1000 pour per the standard pricing. Now granted, it would be a full bar pour, so let’s say a $333 pour compared to ours. KC Scotch Club will be sampling this scotch and the rest of the above lineup for $45. Cheers!
While the club is still small enough, we’ll be at Andy’s (new) home in Overland Park.

As usual, the calendars will be numbered and you won’t know what they are until our daily video release.
Our club advent calendars are re-usable and many of you have them, so we won’t be including them this year. If you need one, they are right here: Amazon
As we are getting close to December 1st, we are going to move on this fast. The first FIFTY orders are guaranteed but after that, we are limited to rounding down to multiples of 25, so we could do 75 or 100, but we aren’t guaranteed. If we get 80 orders, only the first 75 will get them because the club can’t be stuck with too much whisky. Buy early! Buy often!
