Whisky Live New York 2019 - An Evening of Tastings PDF Print E-mail
Written by Debra C. Argen and Edward F. Nesta   
Whisky Live New York 2019 - photo by Luxury Experience It was a memorable evening of international and domestic tastings, whisky tastings to be precise, during Whisky Live New York. Whisky aficionados gathered at The Altman Building in New York City on Wednesday, May 22, 2019, for Whisky Live "The world's premier tasting show" for their first USA show for 2019 for an evening of learning about and appreciating the fine nuances and differences of Bourbons, Ryes, Tennessee Whiskey, Scotch, international whiskies and so much more through tastings and Masterclasses! Cheers!

 

Whisky Live NYC 2019

Whisky, Whiskey, Bourbon, Rye, and Sour Mash were all available for tasting during Whisky Live New York 2019, and we judiciously made our way through the offerings, of which there were too many to experience all of them. We bring you a few of the many highlights of the evening to provide a delectable "taste" of Whisky Live New York.  

Bourbon Tastings

Bourbon is an American spirit that must be made in the United States. As America's darling, as well as one of our favorite spirits, many states are producing this potent potable. Over the course of the evening we tasted Bourbon produced in many different states.

Bellevoye Whisky Triple Malt

We felt like we should have brought our passport for country stamps as we tasted our way around the world beginning in France with Bellevoye Whisky Triple Malt Finition Sauternes. We then "traveled" to England tasting their Cotswolds Single Malt Whisky.

Next stop was Scotland where we tasted Bowmore Islay Single Malt aged 12 years, Glengoyne, Laphraoaig, and Loch Lomond, and from the house of Bruichladdich there was Port Charlotte Heavily Peated Islay Single Malt, Islay Barley 2011, and The Classic Laddie.
