I envy them. I always thought liqueur “ambassadors” had cush jobs. Show up at events and bars and teach people about something you love, all while drinking. The Glenlivet Ambassador, Rick Edwards, is no exception. Ya see, since 2003 Edwards has been a “Master of Scotch” after traveling all over Scotland in his quest to learn more about Scotch Whisky.

Scotch lover rejoice! Join him at Bar Chloe on Wednesday, December 3rd from 7-8pm and enjoy neat pours of 12-year old, 16-year old Nadurra, 18-year old, and Archive 21-year old Glenlivet. All for only . A pretty good deal when you consider the Archive alone is a 0 bottle of Scotch. For reservations email info@barchloe.com
