Andrew Walls of B.C. fires up the crowd with skill at twirling flaming baton

Andrew Walls has a way of getting a crowd fired up.

Hailing from Victoria, British Columbia, he was in Kincardine for the Companions of the Quaich scotch-tasting event, held Friday night at the Best Western Plus Governor's Inn.

But first, he performed his fire baton routine before an admiring crowd, outside the Governor's Inn, showcasing his incredible skill with the flaming device.

Following this, the group headed back inside to enjoy a delicious meal, and some cask whiskies from the Victoria Macaloney Distillery, with Walls giving a description of each one.

The four cask whiskies on tap for Friday night's scotch-tasting, were:
 

• Twa Cask Speyside - Benrinnes and Glenlossie
• Twa Cask Highland - Blair Athol and MacDuff
• Twa Cask Islay - Caol Ila and Bunnahabhain
• Macaloney's Victoria Caledonian "Mac na Braiche"

Charlie Boudreau, organizer of the event, said the $600 raised at this scotch-tasting is being donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.
