Hi everyone, I am searching for a whiskey tasting club in Montreal Quebec. Does anyone know of any? Our provincial liquor board offers some at $180 a pop!!! Something more affordable would appeal my budget a little better. En francais peut marche pour moi aussi!

Cheers!

Informe-toi au club de whisky de québec (quebecwhisky). Je sais qu'ils ont ete approchés pour aider à la formation d'un club similaire à Mtl, mais je ne sais pas où en sont les démarches. En attendant, effectivement il y a seulement le club de Qbc et les dégustations de la SAQ. Je suis allé à WhiskyLive Toronto, WhiskyFest Chicago et NY. Ces évènements en valent vraiment la peine.

If you go to the SAQ on rue St. Catherine you can have your own free tasting. We stayed at a B&B (Bon Matin) on Argyle. We walked to the SAQ. It was one of the bigger stores with a very good selection of single malts. I was surprised that they were providing free tastings; but, never look a gift horse in the mouth. They also had a copy of Jim Murray's Whisky Bible on hand to look up what you were tasting. The people working in the scotch section were pretty knowlegeable as well. The next day we were in Quebec City and at the SAQ in Ste Foy if you wanted to taste you had to buy tokens. I liked Mtl approach much better

A post script to my post. I bought a couple of bottles after tasting quite a few malts. Not sure what their tolerance is for providing beaucoup tastings without a purchase. :)
