New York City: Johnnie Walker Taste Test Events

Johnnie Walker is having taste testing events at their "pop up' (I'm getting sick of the term) location on West Broadway near Houston in New York City. I'd post a link, but the JW website sucks operationally. Too much work to get to the event info. I went to such an event years back... it was great. You get a taste of each line along with background, guidance, and stories. Definitely a fun thing to do. (Red, Green, Gold, Blue, Black) Recommended. (I hate shilling for companies with lame ass websites, but this event is good)

This seems like a terrible idea to me. People might realize they prefer the taste of red/black over the more expensive colours.

It's not blind. They explain what is in each one and tell you what to notice.. .from the single malt to the blends.

I prefer the taste of gold over blue. Blue is much more expensive. I still got my dad a bottle. But for special occasions I drink gold, not blue.

People might like red/black vs. blue/gold. The events are fun and educational.

I went to one a few months ago. The waitresses are hot. Macallan does this from time to time too. I find that there's usually too much talking and not enough drinking.

QFT. It was a pleasant time, certainly worth the price tag of $0. Go with friends if you can.

Balvenie is having a similar shindig in DC next week; my kid brother and I are attending that as well. Should be fun.
