Yupper, I know what you are thinking. Did I really experience this? O yes indeedy! It was a great event and I was so happy to be able to take part in such a lovely Whisky Fest.

First of all, I had a table with my managing/partner boss Ben Scorah of Beekman Bar and Books. We poured drams as we enlightened the guest of our 3 whisky/cigar bars locations in NYC. I promoted my production company, we had people to sign up for our VIP list, and passed out our house brand cigars made from the Martinez brothers.

After awhile, I walked over to the buffet and had a couple of tasty plates. Next my friend/blogger Selena Ricks from The Dizzy Fizz walked around and visited our friends(PHOTO'S: me and Davinia Small holding the Ardbeg bottle/ Ellie Tam and Keith Allison), including the USBGNY group at their whisky tables. We met a few new people and tasted alot of great whisky!

Night cap:

It was such a wonderful time at the fest. I went home feeling like a kid leaving a candy store! I would like to thank Bar and Books for bringing me to this event and I give credit to the Malt Advocate for the pouring list information and Lush Life Productions for photo credit.


Slaandjivaa!
