Very rare whiskies heading to WhiskyFest New York
October 12th, 2008Those very rare whiskies from The Macallan, The Glenlivet and Glenfarclas that debuted at WhiskyFest San Francico over the weekend are now heading to WhiskyFest New York on November 11th. None of the bottles were emptied completely, so we’re shipping the remains to WhiskyFest New York.
The list of whiskies, outlined below, raised thousands of dollars for charity (Food Runners) at WhiskyFest San Francisco (final amount to be tabulated when we get back to our office). We still have some left and, for a small donation, you can taste them. Start saving your pennies. Get there early because some of them only have 1/4-1/3 of a bottle left.
Oh, and make sure you get a ticket. I think WhiskyFest New York will sell out this week.
Here’s the list.
The Macallan:
Unique, individual, bottles (bottles 1 of 1) of Macallan created by current and retired Macallan Master Distillers and Managing Directors, listed below.
Bob Dalgarno (current Master Distiller)
Frank Newlands (retired Master Distiller)

Willie Phillips (retired Managing Director)

That’s the first time I’ve been excited about leftovers, well, probably ever. I hope there will be some other stellar whiskies joining them.

Aaron, these whiskies will not be alone. My goal over the next couple of weeks is to line up some more goodies too! And I always donate some nice gems from my own stash.
I must reiterate though, that if you don’t have a ticket to WhiskyFest New York yet, get one, because I think the VIP tickets are already sold out and I expect General Admission tickest to go in a few days.

John,
My father, uncle and I bought VIP tickets a couple of months ago. It will be my second trip to WhiskeyFest (also went in 2006, which took place on my 30th birthday). Needless to say, I am looking forward to going again.
