Whisky lovers, take note: the Glenfiddich Cask of Dreams tour is stopping in Calgary on Thursday and with it comes a rare opportunity.
The Scottish whisky distillery is touring across the country and will be in Calgary from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday at the Oakridge location of Calgary Co-op Wines & Spirits (2570 Southland Drive. SW). Calgary is one of only 10 cities to be included in the tour.
At the event, guests are invited to write their own personal dream on one of the Glenfiddich casks — starting with the phrase, “One day I will . . . ” — before the barrels are taken back to Scotland to be filled with whisky. After aging, the whisky will be bottled up and sent back to Calgary in time for the holiday season.
If that’s not tempting enough, there will also be a chance to win a trip for two to Scotland to see the limited edition Cask of Dreams whisky get bottled up for sale.

There is no cost and invitations are not required for the event. (Though, of course, you have to be at least 18.)
