America’s one-of-a-kind tasting event for whiskey connoisseurs and enthusiasts, Whiskies of the World, is once again bringing together some of the finest whiskey distillers and brands from around the world for its 2023 tour.
With 12 tour stops around the country, including Town of Paradise Valley on June 10, guests can embark on a multi-sensory expedition sampling hundreds of whiskey expressions. Featuring a variety of scotches, craft bourbons, ryes and single malts from countries such as Japan, Scotland, Israel and Australia, whiskey lovers will have a opportunity to explore flavors and uncover some of new favorite drams, a press release stated.
In addition, the tour will feature a series of masterclasses led by whiskey educators, giving guests the opportunity to learn about the art of whiskey making, the history of their favorite brands and how to properly taste and pair different whiskies for an additional fee.
Produced and owned by the event/marketing consulting agency, a21, Whiskies of the World reigns as one of the largest tasting events in the United States, gathering hundreds of brands and their makers under one roof, according to the release.
“We are so excited to be bringing Whiskies of the World back for another year,” a21 CEO Brett Friedman said in the release. “With thousands of new attendees joining us year after year, we’ve expanded the tour to a number of new cities we are thrilled to share the magic with. Our ultimate goal is to create an immersive experience for whiskey lovers and novices alike, and we believe that with the addition of these new markets, this year’s event will be the best yet.”
A percentage of ticket proceeds will be going to The Whiskey Education Foundation.
