On Saturday, Nov. 7, BC Liquor Stores are holding their annual “Spirit Release” — the day when they release the world’s most prized and rare whiskies, scotches, bourbons and cognacs.
This event, which will feature a tasting at the Langley BC Liquor Store at 64325 201 St., is widely considered ‘the’ event of the year for connoisseurs trying to snatch up hard-to-get, premium spirits.
In recent years, the popularity of the event has grown as more young parents and professionals, so-called hipsters and foodies, get into worldly whiskies in record numbers. Scotch isn’t just your dad’s drink anymore.
