Take a trip around the world with every sip of scotch

Tickets are selling fast for an opportunity to take your taste buds on a trip around the world through the liquid brown gold of scotch.
Once again, the Aurora Historical Society and CHATS (Community & Home Assistance to Seniors) teaming up for an Evening of Fine Scotch Tasting next Thursday, November 24, at Hillary House.
Funds raised for the Aurora Historical Society will go back into the maintenance of the National Historic Site, while CHATS’ share of the pot will go to “enriching the health and wellbeing of our community’s seniors and caregivers” by supporting existing services for their over 7,700 clients in York Region and South Simcoe.
Now in its third year, the two organizations – and scotch expert Keith Scott – will take you on a tour of scotches for every taste including the traditional Glen Fiddich from Scotland, Green Spot from Ireland, Amrut Fusion from India, Super Nikka from Japan, and South Island Single Malt of New Zealand.
“It is usually a night for the scotch drinker, but there have been some people [in previous years] who have come wondering about scotch and simply to learn what different scotches are all about,” says CHATS’ Tim Jones. “It is helpful to have a palate that can distinguish between different types of booze, but I’m not sure mine is that sensitive!
“[Martin] uses accompaniments to try and bring out the flavour of the scotch, so we’re fortunate because La Jolie Cheese Chop has volunteered to participate and provide samples that heighten the scotch’s flavour.”
Tickets are $75 and limited to 35 places. At press time, there were only a handful of tickets left.
To get yours, or to learn more, contact Kelly MacKenzie at 905-713-3373 x6055, or email kmackenzie@chats.on.ca.
Ticketholders “strongly suggested” to play it safe and arrange transportation to Hillary House and back home.
