Designed as an experience to be enjoyed by those new to whisky and aficionados alike, the Resort’s knowledgeable Scotch Ambassadors are on hand to help guests choose from the many options as well as provide tips about how best to enjoy the “water of life.”  As a part of the experience, guests are encouraged to linger and enjoy their selection and are treated to a complimentary tasting of canapés, which include seared beef tenderloin, smoked trout on brioche crostini, and whitefish brandade on cucumber.

For those who wish to further improve their understanding of Scotch, the Resort hosts “An Evening of Scotches” at 6 p.m. each Friday at the Library’s Ambassador’s Table. In addition to sampling three selections of Scotch, guests will have the opportunity to learn about differences between the labels, unique aspects of the various whisky regions of Scotland, and various ways to drink Scotch. “An Evening of Scotches” is priced at $45 person and advanced reservations are required.

The Resort also hosts Master Tastings, hour-long events that feature an expert from one of the leading Scotch producers.  On May 15 and May 16, Glenmorangie will showcase its Glenmorangie Astar, Ealanta, Glenmorangie La Santa and Nectar D’or Scotches.  Each Master Tasting will begin at 6:30 p.m. and is priced at $50 per person.  For more information about The Scotch Library, please call 480-624-1202 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
