You have a point there; the only allure of doing it at the bar is that you can try something that you literally cannot otherwise get in canada. the owner of the pub flies to scotland a few times a year and brings his stock back with him. but i do like the idea of the informality of the BYOB tasting. my only rule is: no bar rail scotch! i don't want to be stuck "tasting" famous grouse! oh and it must be from scotland.
if we could get, say, 5 or more people this could be a great time. i'd probably bring Balvenie 10yr old.
