According to event organizers:
Now in its 12th year, the Whiskies of the World Expo & Artisanal Spirits Fest gathers the world’s most fascinating distilled spirits along with their makers and ambassadors to give its guests an opportunity to sample, learn and experience the art of whisky.
The expo will feature tastings and seminars from Master Distillers and Brand Ambassadors along with a full buffet dinner, mixology demonstrations, Celtic crafts, whisky pairings with chocolate, jerky, cheese, fish, and chutney, a live Pipe and Drum Concert and more.
