The Companions of the Quaich whisky society marked the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birth with a traditional Burns supper for 170 people at the Albany Club Wednesday. The sold-out event, which is known as one of the best traditional Burns events in the country, featured a toast to the haggis, special whisky tastings, and a charity raffle that included a 37-year-old bottle of the Famous Grouse as the top prize.

"We're the premier malt whisky association in Canada," said society founder Ed Patrick. The Companions of the Quaich, which started 10 years ago, now has 19 chapters and 1,000 members across the country. "The Burns Supper is the highlight of the year, and this is a very special Burns supper," Patrick said, adding there was great interest in the event. "Tonight we're limited by the capacity of this room, otherwise we would have had more than 200 here." MORE >>
