WhiskyFest Ends The Year With A Bang In Chicago And New York

Following an action-packed event in Florida last month, WhiskyFest made its final two stops of the year in Chicago and New York. Both nights provided consumers top-flight drams, educational seminars, and the opportunity to meet some of the people behind their favorite brands.

WhiskyFest Chicago took place on the evening of November 15, with a horde of enthusiastic whisky fans storming the Hyatt Regency Hotel. The event kicked off at 5:30 with an exclusive VIP hour—offering ticket holders an early taste of the evening’s whiskies. The VIP hour also included a slew of exclusive and highly sought-after pours, including Octomore 15.1, Compass Box Metropolis, Dewar’s Double Double 21, Heaven Hill 18 year old Heritage Collection, and Little Book among others.

Just five days after WhiskyFest Chicago, a new army of whisky devotees congregated in the New York Marriott Marquis hotel in anticipation of WhiskyFest New York. The VIP hour featured coveted whiskies like Booker’s, Michter’s 20 year old, Redbreast 18, Glen Moray 21, Laphroaig 36 year old, and Bunnahabhain Feis Ile 2024 Release. Whisky Advocate has a full recap of the festivities.
