This was the first of what I hope will be an annual event here in Minnesota. We are sadly lacking big whisky events. I purchased the VIP tickets and it was well worth it. Several of the distillers had special bottlings to share (thanks again Simon and Brant). My favorites here were the Glenfiddich 26yo, the Laphroaig PX and The Macallan Rare Cask. Here is a sampling of what was tasted:
