Whisky and Authors make for the perfect pairing with ambassador Jamie Johnson of The Balvenie and author Alix Ohlin. In this fireside chat at the Granville Island Hotel, Johnson will weave a spellbinding tale, outlining similarities between the craft of whisky-making and the craft of writing. The whiskies will be paired with delectable bites from the Dockside Restaurant.

Alix Ohlin is the author of four books, most recently the novel Inside, which was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, Tin House, Best American Short Stories, and many other places. She lives in Vancouver, where she chairs the creative writing program at the University of British Columbia.
