Here’s the gist of the International Order of the “Companions of the Quaich” (edited slightly). I offer these FAQ’s in the ‘spirit’ of the ‘cork’. You may view this site directly at www.thequaich.com. <\/p>\n
What is the Society?<\/p>\n
The Companions of the Quaich is a non-profit society dedicated to promoting and sharing knowledge and enjoyment of Single Malt Whisky.<\/p>\n
Who are the Companions?<\/p>\n
The Companions are an eclectic group of ladies and gentlemen who share a common interest in, and a passion for, the malt whiskies of Scotland and the world.<\/p>\n
What are its aims and objectives?<\/p>\n
To encourage, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, a greater awareness of the history and methods of malt whisky distilling, and to make available brands that are not normally sold in provincial liquor stores.<\/p>\n
How is this achieved?<\/p>\n
Through regular dinners and tastings at which three different malts are presented by knowledgeable members, special guest presenters and malt masters or head distillers from other countries.<\/p>\n
How is it international?<\/p>\n
By our affiliation with other malt whisky societies around the world — currently 13 chapter in Canada.<\/p>\n
Is the Society different from other malt whisky groups?<\/p>\n
It is distinguished from other societies by the number of events held and our value-for-money pricing (coincidentally, it’s $40 CND). The Companions meet for dinner and tastings up to 12 times a year, and our whiskies are sold to members at cost, with no mark-ups or commission charges. Also, our malts are aged for a minimum of 15 years (except for cask-strength versions).<\/p>\n
