Do you have an iron stomach like Christopher Hitchens? Do you like scotch whisky?

Then you may want to consider being part of the 1st Annual Scotch Whisky Festival at the Watergate Hotel, sponsored by TasteDC on Nov. 30. Thanks to DCFoodies to alerting us to this.

Though the $75 entry makes this out of reach except to the most die-hard “water of life” fans, there will be 150 scotches, whiskies, cognacs and other spirits for tasting and for discounted purchase.
