The event typically attracts whisky enthusiasts from around the world who share a passion for fine whiskies and a desire to explore the diverse and fascinating world of whisky with its blend of luxury, education, and unparalleled whisky offerings.

Having attended this world-class event held at the Wynn Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, we were excited to sample an extensive selection of whiskies from renowned distilleries around the globe. We explored and discovered new expressions, flavors, and styles, while talking with master distillers, brand ambassadors, and industry experts who share their knowledge and insights about the world of whisky.

This certainly is not just a one-day event by any means. The Universal Whisky Experience features educational seminars, whisky pairing dinners, masterclasses, and other special events designed to deepen attendees’ understanding and appreciation of whisky.

A brilliant way to take it to another level is by attending a Master Class. This High Roller Level for $2,995.00 provides in-depth education on Johnnie Walker, Ardbeg, Glenmorangie, and Mortlach. Hardy Cognac and Patron also provided an exceptional tasting experience for those interested in exploring other spirits.

This private tasting of the vintage Benromach range hosted at Forbes Travel Guide award-winning restaurant Lakeside at Wynn Las Vegas is not to be missed.

To keep this Ultimate Experience going, The Legends Supper hosted at Jardins Restaurant on its outdoor patio overlooking glistening pools and manicured gardens is the place to be. The dinner brings together the finest spirits, culinary artistry, and unique personalities in the industry all in one place.

Throughout the evening, guests have the chance to sample an impressive selection of whiskies and spirits from around the world introduced by revered ikons in the whisky world.
