When Austinites came up with the slogan “Keep Austin Weird,” they probably didn’t expect it to be taken so literally. Progressive and vibrant, Austin is known for having more festivals, shows, and other types of gaiety per capita than any other city in the U.S. But until recently, it was missing something… A WoW show!

With one month left to go, the First Annual Whiskies of the World Expo Austin promises to be as progressive and vibrant as the city itself. With over 170 expressions (and counting), six ongoing masterclasses (including one with the iconic Dr. Bill Lumsden of Glenmorangie and another with Olivia Cigars), new releases, and new distilleries launches; they will all be there to keep Austin “whiskied” if not weird!

If you’re still working on your vacation plans, or are available November 2nd 2012, come and join us for a night of spectacular whisky celebration. New territory, new whiskies, new people: what a wonderful way to commemorate the passing year, and reenergize your spirits before the holidays!
