Our paired scotch tasting was a rousing (and tasty) success! We sold all of the 25 tickets for the big event and we packed tightly into the back half of Two Fools. The dinner got underway with a rousing round of bagpipe music enjoyed by all.
Then the food began! The introduction to each pairing, as explained by the manager and the scotch master, included a mouth watering description of the food, a little history and details of each scotch, why the scotch was chosen, and what made the pairing work. We then thoroughly enjoyed the combination over lively conversation. Then the tables were promptly emptied by the attentive staff and the next course of scotch and food was served up. By the end we were very full from all the food and very happy from all the scotch. It was quite the experience!

Personally, I have never drank my scotch with food and it was an epiphany! No one thinks twice of pairing wine with a specific dish, but never had I thought of applying the same logic to scotch. There were many interesting flavor combinations that the food brought out of the scotch and vice versa.
All in all a very successful and fun evening. Through the generosity of our attendees and the fantastic staff at Two Fools, the Penultimates were able to raise over $1200 for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society! And plans have already been made for next years event! Hope you can join us!
