Whisky Tastes Better In New York In November

Got a spare $1400 lying around that you’re not using right now? Well then, you might be interested in heading over to New York City – specifically, the Flatiron Room cocktail lounge – where you can attend a special whisky tasting extraordinaire. What makes this whisky tasting more special than the one in Omaha or Cleveland? Glad you asked. This particular event will allow you to be in the presence of greatness and taste it in half-ounce swishes from bottles of Glenfiddich 30-year-old, Glenfiddich 40, Glenrothes 42, Balvenie 30, Balvenie 40 and – the crème de la crème – Glenmorangie 1981 Pride [of which only 800 bottles were ever released and which typically sell for upwards of $5000 at auction…assuming you would be able to get one].

The Flatiron Room [37 West 26th Street, Manhattan] tasting will run you $1450 [with service fee] and occurs in New York on November 14, 2013 and November 19, 2013. Tickets may be purchased at www.brownpapertickets.com.
