It's not too late to take part in Chicago's Whiskey Fest
We can not imagine how we missed this last week, but over the weekend, Chicago's Whiskey Fest opened.
America's Largest Whisky Celebration featuring more than 200 of the world's finest, rarest, and most expensive, single malt and blended Scotch, Irish, bourbon, Tennessee, Japanese, Welsh, Canadian and other whiskies from around the world to sample in one Grand Ballroom. Attendees will also enjoy an expansive gourmet buffet all evening and will receive a commemorative Glencairn whisky glass.
