Whether guests choose VIP or general admission tickets, whisky lovers are also welcome to:

• Stop by pop-ups from local bars Daddy-O, American Whiskey and others to sample signature cocktails and private label pours.

• Secure a seat for a Master Class, the hour-long tutored tastings guided by international whiskies experts, ambassadors, and master distillers who provide a detailed exploration of whisky enjoyment in an intimate setting. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.whiskyliveusa.com.
