Saloon Hosts Exclusive Single Malt Dinner

Davis Square watering hole Saloon will host an exclusive single malt pairing dinner celebrating Scotland’s favorite sips on November 4. Emceed by Scotch Master Ambassador Simon Brooking, this five-course scotch-friendly menu has been designed by executive chef Shayne Nunes and features scotch pairings hand-selected by Brooking from Saloon’s expansive craft portfolio. Throughout the dinner, Brooking will impart his wisdom on spirit rookies and aficionados alike by giving them a liquid tour of classic single malts such as Laphroaig, Auchentoshan and Bowmore. Saloon’s beverage director and resident malt man, Schuyler Hunton, also will be on hand shaking up two specialty craft cocktails including the “Dr. Frankenstein” (peaty scotch, Cocchi Americano, lemon juice, Giffard Val de Loire) and the “Little Scotland” (Haig Club, Cynar, Tempus Fugit Vermouth, salt, orange bitters).
