WhiskyFest San Francisco October 16, 2009

WhiskyFest San Francisco
America's largest whisky celebration returns to San Francisco for the 3rd year with over 200 of the world's rarest - and most expensive - whiskies from around the globe available for tasting. Put on by Malt Advocate, the premiere magazine for the whisky enthusiast, WhiskyFest will again feature an educational focus that will let distillers not only explain how whisky is made, but also how to identify, sniff, swirl, and enjoy one of the most revered spirits in the world.

The goal of WhiskyFest is to educate the public about whisky through industry leading speakers and thought-provoking seminars. A full list of speakers and seminar times will be available soon on the WhiskyFest website.

WhiskyWeek, the week leading up to WhiskyFest, will feature whisky-related events and promotions throughout the city at popular nightspots, restaurants, and bars. Details on specific venues will be available soon at WhiskyFest San Francisco.

Why
"We are looking to continue to educate consumers and connoisseurs alike about whisky. In addition, we hope to raise some funds for charity via a signed bottle auction, involve the community with dinners and tastings leading up the event and give whisky enthusiasts the chance to taste some incredibly rare whiskies and meet the makers behind the barrels. That's exactly what will occur at WhiskyFest San Francisco on October 16, 2009." - John Hansell, Publisher, Malt Advocate

$95 (includes Scottish crystal tasting glass, 1-year subscription to Malt Advocate magazine, event program with tasting notes section, all seminars, gourmet buffet and beverages throughout the evening).
