Scotch Whisky, Ales, Haggis and Bagpipes! What’s Up In Vancouver This Robbie Burns Day<\/h2>\n

Robbie Burns is Scotland’s most famous poet, and one of the more humorous ones. You probably know his most famous works,\u00a0Auld Lang Syne, and each year the year of his birth is celebrated worldwide. As for me, I don’t need any excuse to sip some quality scotch, and as my great grandfather came from Scotland, I feel it’s a almost my birthright.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"marcus<\/a><\/p>\n

To get you in the mood for a scotch or two, we check in with our friend, Chef Marcus Von Albrecht<\/a>,<\/strong> who knows his way around a Scotch barrel and imports unique bottles as well as crafting his own spirit, XFour Vodka, in the Okanagan. First up we asked him for a quick overview of the scotch regions, as well as some tips on sipping, a couple of his favourites and his choice when it comes to a whisky cocktail.<\/p>\n

Von Albrecht reminds us that there are five regions where scotch is produced in Scotland, the Highlands, Lowlands, Midlands, Islay and Speyside, and each have different recipes. Islay shows flavours of smoke and peat; the Lowlands whiskies are\u00a0light bodied, with mature fruit, spice, grass , ginger;\u00a0Midlands whisky is dry, with fruit, peat cream, cinnamon, and honey; Speyside whiskies have hints of salt, fruit, a balance of smoke and leather, apple, pear and honey and the\u00a0Highlands are spicier, full bodied, with a finish of smoke and peat, hints of fruit, honey, cereal and nut.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

When asked about some recommendations Von Albrecht suggested a starter bottle of whisky sourced from speyside, as the region is most appealing to the general audience, perhaps try the Macallan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tips for tasting whisky like a pro include serving the spirit at body temp, and make sure you sniff, taste and swallow allowing time for the sensation to kick in. Don’t swill it like a wine as you will loose the vapor which separates from the oils.<\/p>\n

\"bunn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For Robbie Burns day Von Albrecht suggests start with a Highland or Speyside whisky as this will be a good introduction , creating a base for judging the other flavor profiles, then follow up with a lowlands and finish with an Islay.\u00a0 Start with a Balvenie 12, next a Glenmorangie or HIghland park, finish with a Bowmore 14 or Bunnahahbian 18.<\/p>\n

Favorite whisky cocktail? – Whisky martini – one part XFour, 1\/2 part Laphroaig, lemon zest<\/p>\n

If you wish to get out there and get fully into Robbie Burns Day around Vancouver, there’s a few spots around town offering something pretty special.<\/p>\n
