The Hopscotch Festival is proud to co-produce “Whisky Wednesdays” with The Opus Hotel. This dinner, that will turn the novice into a true aficionado will be held at Elixir Bistro, in The Opus Hotel, in the heart of Yaletown. To start, guests will enjoy a full sized custom whisky cocktail made with the 12yo, then have their food, creatively paired by Executive Chef Don Letendre, with the Morrison-Bowmore 12yo, 15yo, and the 18yo. As a very special treat, guests will be able to sample Bowmore’s ‘Maltmans Selection’ – a 3000 bottle limited bottling that is only available from the distillery shop itself. You’ll learn how best to appreciate and serve whisky, while sampling some of Chef Letendre’s culinary talent in classic French cuisine. This dinner will be led by top whisky educator Bruce MacKenzie.
