Fred Thumhart and Michael Traverso, founders of the Sonoma Single Malt Society, are hosting their next tasting–open to both members and the general public–on Friday, November 11.

This tasting features William Lipp, CEO of Rebel Spirits, who will lead the tasting, which features several Alexander Murray vintages. The exact line up is not yet determined but a previous tasting, one of the society’s most popular, included Bon Accord; Caol Ila 8 year; Auchentoshan, 15 year; Highland Park, 13 year Cask Strength; Glentauchers, 17 year; Monumental, 30 year; Tobermory, 19 year, and Dailuaine, 16 year.

Seating is always limited at these tastings, and, if you want to snag a seat or two, send an email to info@sonomasinglemalt.com. Cancellations must be made 72 hours in advance, as the venue needs a count in order to plan the nibbles that are served and to arrange the room.Cost is $45 for members and $65 for nonmembers.
