Hi All,

Going on last years event and the positive ticket sales it should be a great day ...

What do the VIP tickets get you?

I noticed that there's no masterclass by Bushmills. They don't seem keen on this event at all.

I'm not talking to you. The week before the date was announced I agreed with my wife that she'd take her mother away that weekend and she booked flights and accomodation. Can't go to whiskey live. Am in major sulk.

I'm thinking that the Boys maybe in need of some major Whiskey education. I'm sure by the end of the session we'll all know where at least one of them are so between us we should be able to cover them all that way ... or just buy leads and strap them to your wrist. Sounds reasonable to me

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

I'm confused!! You have to arrive at 6pm at Buswells for a class that starts at either 7.30 or 8.45??!

[DavidH]

I'm confused!! You have to arrive at 6pm at Buswells for a class that starts at either 7.30 or 8.45??!

No, the VIP masterclass is distinct from the ones listed above. It starts at 6pm (or 2pm) and you get in if you have bought a VIP ticket for the whole event.

Correct David, I have also contacted the WL people in relation to attending a Master Class in an opposite session and unfortunately it is not available. What I mean by that is that you cannot purchase a ticket to attend an evening masterclass if you only have an entry ticket for the Day session. So day ticket your only allowed to do the day masterclasses and evening ticket for evening masterclasses.

[IrishWhiskeyChaser]

Virtually a week to go ... really looking forward to this now ....I don't get out much you know


will be counting down the days now

[Liam Murray]
