What is included with a Designated Driver (DD) Ticket?
This ticket only gets you access to the room. It does not include a tasting glass or the ability to taste samples. This ticket is for anyone driving attendees, or if you’re looking to enjoy a day out with friends and family, but who do not wish to drink.
DD ticket holders can enter with Early Entry time (3pm) or General Admission time (4pm).
Can I trade up to an Early Entry Ticket within the event?
Unfortunately, no. We have limited supplies for the ticket tiers and don’t have the flexibility to add the necessary resources during the event. If you've purchased a GA ticket and wish to upgrade to Early Entry before the event, please reach out to TIXR customer support who may be able to assist. Purchasing an upgrade will be dependent on Early Entry ticket availability.
Are samples free?
Once you have your ticket for admission and enter the venue, you will not be charged for any whiskey tasting.
Are cocktails free?
Yes! All cocktails are sample sized. Don’t think of a traditional bar where you walk up and tell the bartender what you’d like. The cocktail bars are hosted by showcasing brands and typically offer just one specialty cocktail sample per bar. Cocktail bars to be announced close to event, keep checking the brand list updates below!
Will tickets sell out?
It’s very likely that the event sells out, they do in most cities! Grab your ticket early and be sure to not miss out!
What brands will be attending?
Brand list will be published in August 2026! The final list will be evolving until October, but we’ll be posting updates here, on our Tixr page and social media regularly as new brands hop on board. In the meantime, check out our list of historic participating brands on our brand partners page.
Is the event for people 21 and over?
Yes. If a person is under 21 years old and tries to enter the event with a ticket they purchased online or one that was provided to them, they will not be granted entry and the purchaser will not receive a refund for the ticket. You must be 21 years of age or older to enter this event and no exceptions to the rule will be made.
Do I have to buy anything when I’m in the event?
No! All whiskey samples are included with purchase of admission. Complimentary water bottles will be available in the event!
Can I purchase food at the event?
Yes! There will be food on site for purchase.
Is there security?
There will be security present at the event and they are tasked with keeping the evening civilized and safe. Please be courteous, respectful and kind to others and keep in mind that everyone is coming together to have fun and positive experience.
Can I bring my dog?
No dogs allowed. We love pups, but please leave them home for this event.
Strong Suggestions for a Safe & Enjoyable Time:
Use the spit buckets. Seriously. You’re doing a tasting and should pace yourself! There’s no pressure to drink everything you’re trying. The brand representatives who will be present expect you to spit out their products after trying and won’t be offended if you do! It may seem silly or impolite, but it’s how the whiskey world works. This is sage advice.
Rinse out your glass between whiskeys! You don’t want a new bourbon to taste like the last smokey Islay scotch you tried!
Do not pre-game the event. Fight any social temptation you may have to do so. Your evening will be so much more enjoyable if you just wait for the event to start imbibing.
Eat a hearty meal beforehand! There's nothing worse than being hungry, and while we'll have snacks on hand and food for purchase, we encourage you to eat before the event.
There’s going to be a rush at the beginning of the event as people get in and spread throughout the venue. It may seem like you won’t have enough time to try everything you want, but we promise that you will. No need to rush, be pushy or drink quickly. You will have time to explore everything!
Please coordinate a ride home from a ride share service or friend/family member.
No violence or aggressive behavior.
No firearms or weapons.
No smoking in the venue.
