The world of whiskey is vast; diving in can be daunting. Our festival offers samplings of hundreds of whiskeys, seminars and fantastic conversations with whiskey lovers, distillers, brand founders and more to arm you with the tools you need to become a whiskey expert. And, oh, yeah... you'll have one hell of a time.

WHO IS WHISKEY RIOT FOR?

The Whiskey Lover, the Whiskey Curious, the Whiskey Enthusiast, The Whiskey Aficionado, The Whiskey Rookie. All are welcome!

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Discovering new whiskeys can be an expensive exploration. Signage in a liquor store and the details on a bottle’s label will only tell you so much. How do you know you’re going to take home something you love? There’s no better way to find your new favorite drink than side-by-side comparison tasting.

Whiskey Riot is a large format tasting event complete with brand representatives who can answer questions, explain the nuances of what your tasting and leave you feeling armed with more whiskey knowledge.

Taste hundreds of bottles without buying hundreds of bottles.

Estimated Cost of 200 Bottles of Whiskey: $45/bottle x 200 bottles = $9,000

Cost of Trying 200 Whiskeys at Whiskey Riot = 1 Ticket
