The Dunfermline Malt Whiskey Society is currently in its second full season in Pittsburgh. As a point of reference and background, Dunfermline is the ancient city seat of Scottish kings (Malcolm I and Robert the Bruce are buried there) and the historical capital of Scotland. It is
also the birthplace of Pittsburgh's most famous citizen, Andrew Carnegie, a life-long Scot who always remained loyal to his Scots heritage and his whiskey.Who is Eligible for Attendance: Discreet ladies and gentlemen from all walks of life who have a zest for life and a curious predilection for malt whiskey. This includes landed gentry, international hommes et femmes d'affaires, dandys, beaux and belles, dreamers and idlers, attorneys-at-law and men-about-town, artists, musicians, dancers, bohemians, and anyone with a penchant for flair and flamboyance.
Who is Not Eligible for Attendance: Boors, dullards, drunkards, pundits, malcontents, misanthropes, miscreants, narcissists, or Fascists.
Mission: While the general mission is to help develop an appreciation and love of malt whiskey in all its varied forms, there are other benefits of the society. As a noteworthy Oxfordian once said,
To become acquainted with malt whiskey as an art is at best to explore the mind of God and at worst, to take leave, even if for a few moments, from the banalities of the day. Its golden amber hues, its complex dance of brine, peat, fruit, and barley upon the palate, its invigorating effect upon the wit, and its healing balm for the spirit . . .
Well, there is much more, but hopefully you get the point. Come learn. Come enjoy.

Do you need to purchase tickets for the whiskey tasting events? I was considering purchasing them for someone for Valentine's day. Any information you have on the events would be great!
