Once the province of connoisseurs, Scotland’s distinctive single-malt whiskies have enjoyed a growing popularity among the general public. More so than blended whiskies, single malts are a reflection of the places in which they are created.

Veteran National Geographic photographer Jim Richardson, whose most recent story for the magazine examined the rise of Celtic consciousness in Europe, has assembled a strikingly beautiful collection of images of the landscapes, watercourses, and villages that collaborate to produce these unique whiskies.

For this special presentation, he will be joined by whisky expert Dave Broom, a columnist for Whisky Magazine, who will guide a tasting of a selection of distinctive single malts representing Scotland’s different whisky-making regions. This program will take place in the National Geographic Dining Hall. Light refreshments will be served.

All attendees must be 21 or older in order to attend this event.
