Another year, another WhiskyFest down in the books. Malt Advocate magazine's annual festival celebrating all there is to celebrate about whiskies was, by all notes, a rousing success. Many exhibitor booths were four-to-five deep with patrons and customers paying $110 a pop to sample whisky. This having been our third WhiskyFest, we had to look long and hard for some new brands.

WhiskyFest Chicago is fast approaching, and that usually entails a week's worth of events leading up to the big dance at the Hyatt Regency Chicago next Friday. Commonly known as "whisky week" (why must it be just a week?), last year it took a superhuman effort to get through the week's events in one piece, all of them set up in honor of the brown spirit that makes us all seem more attractive to each other at last call.
