Alex is in New York this week and will be at the WhiskyFest tonight.

The Malt Advocate magazine’s 10th Annual WhiskyFest is from 6:30 to 10:00 pm (last pour at 9:30 pm) and should prove to be a cracking evening.

With an amazing line-up of brand owners, distillery managers and master blenders from Scotland, Ireland and the U.S it’s one of the big, must attend events in the Whisky calendar.

As the Malt Advocate themselves say, it’s:

America’s Largest Whisky Celebration
featuring more than 200 of the world’s finest, rarest, and most expensive, single malt and blended Scotch, Irish, bourbon, Tennessee, Japanese, Welsh, Canadian and other whiskies from around the world to sample in one Grand Ballroom. Attendees will also enjoy an expansive gourmet buffet all evening and will receive a commemorative Glencairn whisky glass.
