Last March I posted on the WhiskyFest held in Chicago. If you missed it, you can catch the first annual WhiskyFest San Francisco. Hurry, though. It ends today. (I know. I should have posted sooner.) But next week you'll be able to see and drink rare whiskies at WhiskyFest New York, which starts on Oct 30.

Held at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square, there will be over 250 "of the world's finest, rarest and most expensive whiskies will be available for sampling", which is good enough reason for me to attend.

General Admission is $115 and the VIP tickets run $155, which gets you inside an hour earlier, before all the best samples run out.

[UPDATE: The Malt Advocate website is showing "Sold Out" for NY. Check with them directly to see if they are releasing any more tickets.]
