WhiskeyFest.jpg If you are interested in attending Whisky Fest, the booziest day of the year in Chicago (aside from St. Patrick's Day) get your tickets now. The Tribune reported last night that the event was down to 250 tickets, out of almost 2000 originally on sale. The event lets whiskey/whisky lovers taste hundreds of whiskeys, scotches and bourbons, along with a few other spirits. There are seminars, meet and greets with distillers and a gourmet buffet to munch on all night long. This event is certainly not for everyone, but if you're a whiskey lover, it could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Tickets are $135 for regular admission, and the event will be held at the Hyatt Regency.
