America's Largest Whisky Celebration
Don't miss Malt Advocate magazine's 11th annual WhiskyFest New York which will be held on November 11, 2008 at the New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square! The event will feature 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. There will also be high-end rums, tequilas and beer.

The focus is on education, and many distillery representatives will be on hand at the pouring booths to explain how the whiskies are made. Attendees will also enjoy an expansive gourmet buffet all evening and will receive a commemorative Glencairn whisky glass.
