Not sure what made the latest Universal Whisky Experience, aka The Nth, stand out in my mind this year over other years. Maybe it’s because I’ve finally learned the names of more of the passionate people representing the brands, that I know knew so many more people in the room – including founder Mahesh Patel – or the fabulous, rare tastes we always discover. Suffice it to say, it’s got to be a combination of all the above.
This year, just to mix it up for you dear readers, I’m sharing some quotes from others, first timers and repeat guests, on what they thought:
Quotes
April S: Did I dream that we sampled dozens upon dozens of extraordinary, exclusive whiskies and spirits from all over the world, learning about their origins from whisky sommeliers and master distillers? No, it actually happened last night at the Wynn! The Nth Las Vegas event by Universal Whisky Experience was truly a whisky lover’s fantasy evening. From smooth, fruity, and sweet notes to peaty, spicy, smoky hints and everything in between, we relished every savorous dram!
Fred R: We had a great time! Every vendor was super friendly.
Stacey G: THAT was an incredible night! … Learned sooooo much. Lots of fine whiskey in da (Rick)house!!!!
