Over 250 Whiskies in One Place, on One Night
 WhiskyFest Chicago will feature more than 250 of the world's finest, rarest, and most expensive, single malt and blended Scotch, Irish, bourbon, Tennessee, Japanese, Canadian and other whiskies from around the world to sample in one Grand Ballroom. High-end rums, vodkas, beer and other spirits will be represented as well.
Learn from Master Distillers and Blenders
The focus is on education, and many distillery representatives will be on hand at the pouring booths to explain how the whiskies are made. Seminars featuring their own tastings, run throughout the evening. Meet distinguished members of the whisky community, and learn first-hand how their brands are made.
Be sure to go to at least one FREE seminar at WhiskyFest. You’ll have the opportunity to taste samples that may not be available in the main ballroom.
