The Canlis Restaurant, a Seattle institution has now launched the
Canlis Wine & Whisky Society. A $300 per year membership gets you in to the club which includes custom etched Riedel stemware, access to a members-only wine and whisky list comprised, early access to Canlis wine and whisky events and personal access to the restaurant's eight sommeliers as well as Matt Canlis -- the restaurant's official chaplain and personal Whisky Consultant and a minister living in Scotland. The family's ties to Scotland have resulted in them having an inside track to creating the country's rarest single malt whisky collections including some bottles which have been hand carried back from Scotland. A good deal for Seattle-based whisky aficionados.
