The Glenlivet Scotch Tasting at Morton’s Steakhouse

Savored a single malt lately?  If you love scotch, Morton’s Steakhouse is hosting an event on Tuesday that you won’t want to miss!

Join the Glenlivet Ambassadors at Morton’s Steakhouse in Santa Ana for a tasting of four of The Glenlivet’s critically acclaimed single malt Scotch whiskeys this Tuesday, March 16th.  The Glenlivet 12 Year Old, The Glenlivet 15 Year Old, The Glenlivet 16 Year Old, and The Glenlivet 18 Year Old will be served at the tasting.

The whiskeys will be paired with delicious hors d’oeuvres – smoked salmon pinwheels, sliced tenderloin on crostini, broiled sea scallops, and petite filet mignon sandwiches.

The Glenlivet Ambassadors that will be hosting the event are Randy Adams, Rick Edwards, Ricky Crawford, and Winston Evans.

  • Randy Adams is a twenty-year scotch whisky collector and connoisseur, who has traveled to Scotland many times, experiencing the scotch whiskey distilleries while he was there. He is one of the most knowledgeable Scotch whisky ambassadors in the United States right now.
  • Rick Edwards attended the Royal Lochnagar Academy of Malt Advocates in 2001, and upon completion was given the title of “Master of Scotch Knowledge”. His ultimate goal for the future is to become a “Keeper of the Quaich,” a society of individuals that have made a significant contribution to the Scotch Whisky Industry.
  • Ricky Crawford was born and raised in Scotland, where his family has been in the Scotch Whiskey warehousing business for more than 25 years. He was appointed The Glenlivet Ambassador in 2006, and completed a Master’s Class at The Glenlivet Distillery in the spring of 2007 to further his knowledge.
  • Winston Evans has been representing The Glenlivet the spring of 2005. Winston states, “Scotch has always been a passion of mine, so to share a dram and a story with someone eager to learn is always a gratifying experience.”

The Glenlivet Scotch Tasting – March 16th from 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
