Setting itself Apart

Food trucks will also be on site to help attendees pace themselves as they sample the various spirits.
Style and Luxury
In addition to the whisky and food, WhiskyX also has a "style" element, with complimentary onsite hair cuts, beard trims, and a CAO cigar lounge. This adds a touch of luxury to the event and provides attendees with a unique and memorable experience.
