Forget haggis, bag pipes and the kilt clad set. A hip new way to ring in Robbie Burns’ day is coming to Toronto. In celebration of the famed Scotsman’s birthday, Dewar’s Whisky is inviting scotch lovers to experience the Scotch Egg Club: a pop-up speakeasy highlighting a unique (and delicious) marriage - scotch eggs and Dewar’s Whisky.

First launched in Brooklyn last fall, Tommy’s Egg Kitchen will make its Canadian debut and open to the public January 25th for one night only to host a scotch egg competition hosted by acclaimed Scottish chef James Forrest. The culinary competition will feature six renowned chefs from across Canada who will compete for the title of best scotch egg. Guests will have the chance to eat and judge, tasting each of the finalists' scotch eggs to determine the ultimate winner. Each scotch egg will be paired with a Dewar’s cocktail for the ultimate combination of Scottish fare

The Scotch Egg Club, which will take place in cities across North America is designed to celebrate two of Tommy Dewar’s great passions: whisky and chickens. In addition to producing the finest whisky, Tommy Dewar and his sons raised a collection of pedigree chickens which laid some of the best eggs. This was the origin of the relationship between scotch eggs and whisky.

Guests can expect a fun and lively evening featuring scotch eggs, inspired cocktails, live music and yes, chicken games. Sláinte!
