DrinkyBanjo Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I figured I start a new thread for this. Whose going? I plan on it but didn't get tickets yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gothbat Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I’ll be going with a friend of mine from work, bought my tickets back in April. Been wanting to go for a few years now but it’s either that the tickets sell out or I wind up passing on it at the last minute because I don’t feel like spending the money on it, the price is pretty steep, especially for a 4 and a half hour event ($145!). I assume people here have been to this event in the past, is it worth the price of admission? Also, how do people typically dress at these things? The photo’s on the site pretty much all appear to be of the exhibitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrinkyBanjo Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I wore jeans and a t-shirt and was a bit 'under dressed'. That being said I plan on wearing jeans and a t-shirt this year too, it really doesn't matter. I went for the $100 version last year. I'd imagine that the extra time might be worth it but I had more than my fair share of whiskey last year.The benefit of the event is that you can try lots of different expressions without having to actually buy them. Some of the offerings, PVW 20 for example, are quite expensive and it might be some folks only chance to try them. If you wanted to you could sample a lot of expensive and rare whiskey in that time to make it worth your while.I actually liked meeting the distillers myself. Meeting Jimmy Russell was worth the price of admission alone for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vange Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I will be there. This is the one at the Marriot Marquis right by malt advocate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeluka Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'll be there. Are we going to meet up at some point??? I think we should set a time to all get together. Has anybody went to their web-site and looked at the Charity Whisky List yet. At $20 a try for charity, there are some must tastes for me. Hope to see all of you soon.

gothbat Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah, it would be cool for all of us that will be there to grab a bit of something good and meet up. I’m down however I’ve tried this with some other people from different forums at conventions somewhat unsuccessfully. One thing about conventions is that they are so infrequent and never long enough, I loose track of time. Perhaps those that wish to meet up should wear something subtle that will distinguish us?
