The Wee Tipple is a big deal for the Crimson Coast Dance Society and anyone who appreciates a good glass of whiskey or whisky, and the event is back in 2023.
The Wee Tipple: NanaimoB次元官网网址檚 Whisk(e)y Festival will return with its grand tasting event Saturday, March 4, at the Grand Hotel.
There will be two dozen tables with whisky and whiskey reps pouring close to 100 brands, from blends to single-malt scotches. There will be live music, a silent auction, cigar sales, hors dB次元官网网址檕euvres and some entertainment surprises from Crimson Coast.
B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 quite jovial. People have a really good timeB次元官网网址次元官网网址� said Holly Bright, Crimson CoastB次元官网网址檚 artistic director. B次元官网网址淭he star of the show is the whisk(e)y and I think the elegance of the Grand Hotel and their whisk(e)y knowledge has really created a home for this event.B次元官网网址�
In addition to the grand tasting B次元官网网址榤ain event,B次元官网网址� the Wee Tipple festival features two other related events. On Friday, March 3, there will be a Macaloney Whisk(e)y Masterclass at the Nanaimo Bar, with a dance party with DJ Allgood happening after the tasting. All the Wee Tipple events are for any gender, but Bright said the Friday event is specifically meant to B次元官网网址渙pen the world of whisk(e)y to newbies and people who maybe donB次元官网网址檛 identify with the usual whisk(e)y crowd.B次元官网网址�
There will also be a Scotch Malt Whisky Society master class at the Grand on Saturday, March 4, in the afternoon leading up to the grand tasting.
The Wee Tipple was last held in 2020 just before the COVID-19 pandemic, and Bright said people had been B次元官网网址渞eaching outB次元官网网址� for its return.
B次元官网网址淭he demand was really quite high, and other whisk(e)y events were happening throughout the province and we thought, letB次元官网网址檚 do this,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e really excited about it.B次元官网网址�
