We had a chance to attend last years “A Dram Come True” whisky tasting, part of the Vancouver Writer’s Festival.  I’m not sure what has justified the increase in price from $75 to $100 this year, but I can say we had a great time last year.  The tasting is on Friday, June 4th, but as I write this there are still tickets remaining.  Event details below:
The Vancouver International Writers Festival presents the eighth annual A Dram Come True single malt scotch whisky sampling.
Enjoy the superb, complex flavours of a variety …

This is the first post in a weekly mini-series featuring the cigar’s role in the 20th century by way of the Life Archive.  We’ll cover whisky on Saturdays, cigars on Sundays.  Find “Whisky in History — Circa 1900″ here.  This Sunday, we start off with cigar history circa 1900. Given the state of photography at the time, most images from this period are scans of advertisements, logos, and branding.
