The speaker is Mike Nicholson, a third generation whiskey distiller who has managed and worked at some of the best known distilleries including;  Glenkinchie, Lagavulin (both of which are being served) and Caol Ila. He has assisted in the creation of many BC distilleries including Shelter Point Vancouver Island Distillery and Dubh Glas Distillery in Oliver. the club is extremely fortunate to be able to bring him to Castlegar to go over the finer points of the scotch selection.

Doors open at 6 p.m.  and the first pour is at 7 p.m.  There will be raffle prizes, cigars for sale, and a live auction. They will have a bus coming from and going to Nelson with multiple stops in between, as well as a safe ride home for those in Castlegar.
