Set to be Kuala Lumpur\u2019s biggest whisky and spirits tasting event, WhiskyPLUS 2018 at the Hilton Kuala Lumpur on Saturday 28 July will be offering a range of whiskies and other spirits from Malaysia\u2019s top spirits importers, distributors, and wholesalers.<\/p>\n
Guests at WhiskyPLUS will enjoy unlimited tasting and a selection of chef-curated light bites to complement the session, as well as opportunities for indulging in masterclasses, pop-up bars, a VIP Premier Tasting Room, and an exclusive special selection of purchase-by-the dram rare whiskies, some of which are truly one-of-a-kind offerings.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether you\u2019re a serious whisky connoisseur, a casual aficionado, or a total newbie looking to expand your whisky horizons, WhiskyPLUS will take your enjoyment and appreciation for the whiskies of the world to the next level,\u201d said event organiser Chad Merchant of TEGMedia.<\/p>\n
WhiskyPLUS will also feature an indulgent cigar room, with a great selection of Cuban and non-Cuban cigars. Cigar Journal\u2019s Asia-Pacific Editor Samuel Spurr will be present to guide enthusiasts through the intriguing world of premium cigars through a series of introductory cigar masterclasses.<\/p>\n
\u201cCigar Journal is excited to be a WhiskyPLUS exhibitor. The whisky and cigar worlds frequently over lap and this premier event will be the perfect opportunity to explore both,\u201d said Cigar Journal\u2019s Samuel Spurr. \u201cShort masterclasses will give guests an insight into the world of premium cigars, while allowing plenty of time for whisky sampling. I\u2019m looking forward to introducing Cigar Journal to guests \u2013 as a global magazine, Cigar Journal\u2019s content appeals to connoisseurs and newcomers alike.\u201d<\/p>\n
