This trip to Las Vegas was focused on our 3 Drunken Celts' event at The Whisky Attic; a seated tasting of 7 unique expressions per person that was crafted just for our group. It was an exceptional experience that provided some once in a lifetime bottle samples. It was an amazing experience that taught everyone in the room something, regardless of their level of experience with whiskies. From complete beginners to weathered old-timers, we all learned something new. The Whisky Attic, you see, is not a bar but rather an education center devoted to bringing a deeper appreciation of whiskies to everyone. Adam Carmer's thesis on spirits tasting provides an entirely new process to elicit the subtleties from whiskies and other spirits. Dispelling a number of myths around whiskies as well, you get a wonderful and accurate understanding of the spirit. JD handled our crowd with wonderful candor and aplomb. Take this all as my wholehearted recommendation: make a point of getting to the Whisky Attic as soon as you are able, the experience is a once in a lifetime event (though honestly, hopefully much more often than that) not to miss and will elevate your appreciation for all spirits!
