Drams & Bites: A Whisky Tasting Experience
Discover the spirit of the Highlands in the heart of Saint John. This immersive 2.5-hour whisky tasting begins with a brief uphill walk from the port to Hopscotch Whisky Bar, a local gem housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century building. Inside the cozy and character-filled Tartan Room-designed with whisky lovers in mind-you'll be welcomed by a certified Whisky Ambassador. Your guide will lead you through a thoughtfully curated flight of Highland whiskies, each chosen to highlight the region's wide-ranging flavor profiles, from delicate and floral to rich and peaty.
What you will see along the way:
Situated on Canada's southeastern Atlantic seaboard, where the Bay of Fundy meets the Saint John River, the harbor town of Saint John seamlessly blends its rich maritime heritage with modern flair. Historic landmarks, some standing for centuries, serve as proud emblems of the oldest incorporated city in Canada. From the port, it's a quarter-mile walk to Hopscotch Whisky Bar. The route is mostly uphill, along paved roads and curbed sidewalks.
Tasting:
Ideal for both seasoned whisky enthusiasts and curious newcomers, this experience invites you to explore the unique story behind each distillery as each dram is poured. You'll learn about traditional production techniques and discover how to identify key aromas and tasting notes. A carefully paired selection of appetizers accompanies the tasting, enhancing the flavor of each whisky.
