Reminder: Whiskey Tasting and The Capitol's First Bohemian Ball Tomorrow!

This is just a quick reminder that the single malt scotch whiskey tasting hosted by Cafe Americain will take place tomorrow from 5-9pm!  There is a new write-up by the Sacramento Press on this event, the restaurant, and the Bohemian Ball to follow.

The Bohemian Ball, Masquerade, and Afterparty looks like it will be quite a unique event for the Sacramento area.  It takes place just downstairs (1023 Front Street "Booth Building," Old Sacramento, California, 95814 ) from the whiskey tasting and starts immediately afterward.  Here is the agenda and ticketing information in case you are interested in extending your evening into an all-night outing (although I personally plan to get some sleep):

The cost includes a variety of tastings from the independent bottler, Signatory, as well as tasty appetizers from their restaurant (price does not include tax or gratuity). The Signatory Brand Ambassador, Ed Kohl, will present offerings from different regions of Scotland including: Isle of Skye, Edradour, Auchentoshan Un-Chillfiltered, Highland Park Un-Chillfiltered, Macallan Un-Chillfiltered, Mortlach 86 proof, Laphroaig Un-Chillfiltered and Ben Nevis Cask Strength.

WhiskyIntelligence.com has an article entitled, "Signatory, Isle of Skye Tasting with Ed Kohl In California - Scotch Whisky News," which lists all of his upcoming presentations (in case the Sacramento date doesn't work for you). It also gives a general whiskey biography/history for Ed Kohl himself.

I called the restaurant this afternoon, and Natalya informed me that the tasting is limited to 60 people, and they currently have eight spots remaining (make that seven - I just purchased another ticket)! Get your tickets while you can, and I look forward to seeing you there!
