QFHS Inaugural Irish Whiskey Tasting
(Friday, October 22, 2010):Did you know that it is generally believed that the Irish mastered the art of making whiskey and then brought it to Scotland? Did you know that by 1800 there were about 2000 distilleries in Ireland? Today there are only 4! Or how about the fact that Irish whiskey once out-sold Scotch whisky by 10 times?!
Please, come join us for a fabulous Irish Whiskey Tasting. Brian McQueenie of OUIDRAM will lead us through a tasting of four of Ireland's finest whiskies. (Delicious appetizers will be served with each whisky selection). He will entertain us with Irish and Scottish trivia from the 900 year old distilling tradition... be prepared for some surprises.
