The evening starts with a seated dinner prepared by Chef Erling Jensen where attendees will be entertained by Celtic Harp. A trumpet fanfare will follow as the presentation of Scotch proceeds with a verger, bagpipes and Templar Knights. Each Scotch will be introduced and a have a guided discussion of types and tips prior to the tasting to be followed by a bagpipers' salute.
