Please join San Diego Scotch Club in a "celebration of life" for six distilleries now passed on to the big warehouse in the sky. Many expressions are off the market entirely and some are rarities that are skyrocketing in value and nearly impossible to find.

We are sorry…

We will return to San Telmo Argentine Restaurant on Oct 5th.…
