This is a very special event at Stew Leonard's with Spike McClure, Master of Whiskey and Scotch Whiskey Ambassador who will lead a very special tasting for customers. The tasting will cover whiskies from Europe and North America.
Spike McClure is the son of a Scottish Presbyterian minister and the grandson of a whisky-loving granny. "There were always two holy spirits in our house. Every meal began with a grace and ended with a dram." The inevitable consequence was Spike's life as a proselytizing Scotch whisky evangelist.
Today, a well-traveled missionary for whisky, Spike returns regularly to the Holy Lands (or the Highlands, anyway) to reconnect with his roots in the industry: malt men and coopers, master distillers and blenders who kindly share their knowledge with a man who spreads their good work to the wider world.
For the past seven years Spike has been happily employed by the House of Walker and The Classic Malts Selection: guiding legions of benighted consumers and retailers from a dark fear of flavor to the warm glow of Scotch. His style suiting both the revival tent and the classroom, Spike is always in demand as a host and speaker, conducting Scotch tastings, whisky dinners, and professional trainings throughout the year.
