Sports and Scotch

In the world of sports there is generally only one thing that March stands for and that is of course, March Madness. However, basketball will need to step aside for the PGA Golf Tournament starting this month. This year it will not only be about the sport but about learning how to enjoy some great scotch while wathching your favorite game.

This has prompted The First Tee - A PGA Charitable Organization along with the Commissioner of Golf in conjunction with The Golf Channel to arrange for The First Annual ?First Tee Scotch Experience? Charity Event, March 21, 2006, featuring Scotch Specialist Signatory, with Single Malt Scotch offerings from all parts of Scotland including rare offerings such as: 1994 Edradour, 1992 Highland Park, 1991 Rosebank, 1990 MacCallan, 1989 Glen Rothes, 1989 Caol Ila.

The event is slated in the oldest city in North America, at the Historic Casa Monica Hotel in downtown St. Augustine Florida. PGA and LPGA Golf greats, NFL players, television and film celebrities and Scotch connoisseurs will all gather for a rare example of fine single malt, single cask scotch offerings. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy the history and unique insight of the distilling of Scotch along with tasting notes for each of these fine offerings from renowned Scottish Scholar Byron Cassell.
