🦬You still need a gift for your [insert dude in your life], don't you...

Want to become a whiskey expert in a few hours? You’ve come to the right place.

We get it - the world of whiskey is vast and diving in can be daunting. This Buffalo-born (now national!) festival offers samplings of 200+ whiskeys, seminars and fantastic conversations with whiskey lovers, distillers, brand founders and more. And, oh, yeah... you'll have one hell of a time.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND? 

Here’s the thing, discovering new whiskeys can be an expensive endeavor. Signage in a liquor store and the details on a bottle’s label will only tell you so much. How do you know you’re going to take home something you love? There’s no better way to find your new favorite drink than side-by-side comparison tasting.

Whiskey Riot is a tasting festival complete with brand reps who can answer questions, explain the nuances of what your tasting and leave you feeling armed with more whiskey knowledge.

Plus, you’ll get a take home Whiskey Riot tasting glass, and Whiskey cocktails from great brands! And its all taking place in a beautiful, historic Buffalo building - The Powerhouse.
