5, Explore 10!", including a few rarities. Owner Jan Jorgensen allows

The

sipping takes place from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., and there will be

free hors d'ouerves. If you can't make it tonight, next Thursday will

bring a different spirit sampling, as will every Thursday afterwards,

presumably for quite some time -- Two Chefs has about a thousand different bottles on hand to try.

Remember to bring along a designated driver, though. Enough single malts can make you see double.
