Upcoming Associated Subcontractors of Massachusetts events
Boston, MA A good time was had by all on Thursday, February 8th at ASM’s first member mixer of the year held at Cornwall’s in Kenmore Sq. Those that attended sampled six great tastes including a full-bodied scotch and a smooth whiskey/port. Everyone received a lesson on how to correctly drink whiskey to appreciate all the subtle flavors and learned how the barrel impacts the taste of whiskey. It was a great networking opportunity for all that attended complete with tasty appetizers and some fun whiskey knowledge. Special thank you to the event sponsor Strang, Scott, Giroux and Young.
