The holidays are a time where I celebrate and spend time with family, and this event is my favorite way to open the season.
At WhiskyFest, I look forward to making new friends, seeing old friends that I have met through the years, speaking with many in the industry, catching up with annual attendees, and many attendees that I know through my local whisky clubs.
Also, I anticipate not necessarily sampling the big name pours, but rather exploring what I have not had the opportunity to try before. Of course, I’m happy to revisit pours that I have not had in a while.
There will be so many great spirits, all under one roof, I cannot wait! Like the people and the whisky, the food is plentiful, diverse, and delicious. Both hot and cold dishes are served.
Lastly, everyone gets a commemorative Glencairn glass to take home as a souvenir.
Hope to see you there!
