Kil-Bottle Night
Kilchoman, the Islay distillery so small and new that I've ridden in the backseat of a sedan with the founder, Anthony Wills. But Kilchoman has grown up fast, and those in the know will happily purchase a bottle even though they have only aged a few years. San Diego, it's time you've met Kilchoman. We'll try a few of their base expressions, a few sold out rarities, and even a few private bottlings. The distillery profile is peated but not…

San Diego Scotch Club will be visited by John Pauley who will be presenting a great lineup of Deanston and Ledaig. Deanston, aside from being a short drive from Glasgow, was featured in the film, the Angel's Share (probably for that same reason) and has built up a much improved core range.

Find out more »Irish Whiskey Night
Ireland has been making whiskey for hundreds (or more) years and it's about time that the club took a peak at what they are doing. SDSC has teemed up with Dublin Square for a unique night of Irish fun. We are going to be in the Gaslamp district in our own private space to taste four Irish whiskies and a cocktail. The evening will include one appetizer, an ounce each of four whiskies and a choice of four cocktails that…
