Unicorn and Single Barrel Tasting Series !!!

Unicorn and Single Barrel Tasting Series !!!

What is a unicorn whisk(e)y ?  

Unicorn: an imaginary animal that looks like a horse and has a straight horn growing from the middle of its forehead.

In terms of whisk(e)y this generally refers to whiskies that are highly sought after by whisk(e)y lovers, collectors, as an investment or even as a "trophy".  While many of these bottles are opened and consumed, many others are traded or sold for $100's or even $1,000's of dollars more than SRP. Basically there is a very small supply for these very sought after whiskies.

At Norfolk Wine and Spirits we occasionally get a small allocation of such bottles and it always creates a dilemma.  There has been a thought for a number of years to conduct a Bourbon dinner or an in-store tasting of the rare allocated bourbons, scotches, whiskies and ryes aka “Unicorns”.  Over the years sporadically we have opened a few Pappy’s, BTAC’s, a Gordon & Macphail's 34 yo Port Ellen etc in the store for people to try.  We have never done a comprehensive tasting. This year we are doing something different, which will many of our patrons to sample and taste these whiskies.

This will provide Norfolk Wine and Spirits patrons and opportunity to sample and taste these hard to find whiskies.  We will strive to also feature at least one “Unicorn” that will be available to the “ticket-holders” via a raffle after the tasting.    

Our First Tasting of this series is scheduled for November 29th and tickets can be purchased by using the link below.  Tasting will be limited to 25 attendees.
