*** SOLD OUT ***

Join us for an evening of premium Scotch Whisky and Gulf Oysters at Tableau’s new Oyster Bar. Guests will enjoy a selection of three Balvenie – 12 year DoubleWood, 14 year Peat Week (2003 Vintage), and 17 year DoubleWood. These whiskies are renowned for their incredible malt with a subtle peated quality. Paired with these elegant whiskies are three aqua culture oysters, each hand raised in a different region of the Gulf. It will be both educational and delicious (and a steal of a deal at $10!) It’s the perfect way to kick off the Holiday season.

The Balvenie is a range of single malt whiskies crafted by Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE. Each expression is unique, but all are rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by a distinctive honeyed character.
