Lunch in Thornbury<br />
GTTA treated us to our choice<br />
of a hot lunch at The Dam<br />
Pub in Thornbury, famous for<br />
scotch whiskies. A staggering<br />
736 different brands were<br />
available, many on display<br />
behind locked grills, with<br />
servers knowing a fair bit about<br />
them. The count has since been<br />
increased to more than 780!<br />
“People ask me when I will<br />
stop adding to the collection;<br />
my answer is always ‘when we<br />
run out of room!’" explains<br />
Stephanie Price, co-owner<br />
with her parents Sandy and<br />
Gordon Price. “Mainstream<br />
whiskies such as The Glenlivet,<br />
The Glenfiddich, Balvenie,<br />
Macallan, Glenmorangie are<br />
always popular, however we<br />
find that when folks come<br />
into the pub they want to<br />
try something new because<br />
of our vast selection and<br />
our whisky expertise.”<br />
We were all impressed<br />
with the bottle of 40-year-old<br />
Glenfiddich, which costs an<br />
eye-popping $615 for one<br />
dram, or “1 ½ ounces in our<br />
house,” adds Price. All of us<br />
stuck to beer or soft drinks.<br />
Oil & Vinegar Tasting<br />
I had an embarrassing<br />
experience at the Collingwood<br />
Olive Oil Company where we<br />
were guided through a tasting.<br />
