THE PRESENTER - FRANK SCOTT, Founder & Chairman of the NB Spirits Festival
Whenever Frank Scott pours a single malt into a glass, a look of satisfaction
and contentment crosses his face. No wonder. As one of Canada's most respected
Scotch connoisseurs, he's passionate about whisky.
Frank
co-owns and manages the Lunar Rogue, an award-winning pub in Fredericton, New
Brunswick, Canada. With more than 500 whiskies on the gantry - one of the best
selections in North America - the "Rogue" is a favourite destination
for whisky lovers. Whisky Magazine calls it one of the "great whisky bars
of the world".
Born
in Fredericton, Frank's 39-year career as a publican began in 1976 when he
opened his first pub. Ten years later, he developed an interest in Scotch
whisky, and, ever since, has devoted himself to expanding and sharing his
knowledge about how it's produced. Since 1992, he's hosted many whisky seminars
and tastings for corporate groups and charitable events.
Frank
is a member and past president of the Whisky Tasting Society of New Brunswick.
He has toured more than 70 distilleries and each year attends the Spirit of
Speyside Festival, which named him International Ambassador during the 2014. In
2016, he was inducted as a Keeper of the Quaich.
