Strong Suggestions for a Safe & Enjoyable Time:
#1 - EAT A MEAL! While we’ll have light bites on-site, we encourage you to eat beforehand.
#2 - Use the spit buckets. You’re doing a tasting and should pace yourself! There’s no pressure to drink everything you’re trying. The Brand Representatives who will be pouring expect you to spit out their products after trying and won’t be offended if you do. It may seem silly or impolite, but we can assure you this is how the whiskey world works!
#3 - Do not pregame the event. There will be PLENTY of alcohol on-site. We promise you’ll have a more safe and enjoyable experience if you wait for the event to start!
