During this tasting we will sample 3 mini bagels packed with flavoursome fillings, and of course pair each with SMWS whiskies! We will also be lucky enough to have the owner of Bross bagels join us for this tasting, Larah came from Montreal, the bagel capital of the world that always gets overlooked by the other bagel capital of the world, New York. Instead of complaining about the lack of bagels this country had to offer - she decided to do something about it.
