America's Largest Whisky Celebration
Don't miss Malt Advocate magazine's 2nd annual WhiskyFest San Francisco which will be held on October 10, 2008 at the San Francisco Marriott! 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.

Ticket Options: General Admission and Early Entrance VIP
Tickets will be on sale after Christmas. General admission tickets to WhiskyFest San Francisco are $110. The VIP ticket option, which provides entry to WhiskyFest at 5:30 pm, one hour earlier than general admission, is $150 and a canvas WhiskyFest tote bag is also included. The number of VIP tickets is limited and sell out quickly.
