The world’s biggest Whisky Festival ‘Whisky Live’ returns to Hong Kong. Whisky Live Hong Kong 2017, organized in conjunction with Whisky Magazine, is set to begin ticket sales on 1 August for its one-day whisky celebration.
Whisky Live 2017 will be held at Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre (KITEC) on the 3rd of September 2017 from 1:30-9:30 pm. This occasion is a prime opportunity where whisky enthusiasts can mingle with world-renowned whisky makers, master blenders and brand ambassadors.
The event will showcase more than 200 whiskies and offer master classes, concoctions from Hong Kong's premier mixologists, whisky and food pairings from renowned chefs, and a range of entertainment programs that feature a high-end lifestyle focus, including a stand up comedy performance, charity auction, and an art exhibition.
In hand with its partners, the event is designed to deliver unique experiences for participants.
