Universal Whisky Experience Las VegasThe Universal Whisky Experience, a weekend long whisky tasting experience for those with a palate for fine whisky will debut at the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas next month on March 18th and 19th, 2011. The two day show will bring together the best whisky master blenders and distillers along with the rarest of expressions for an intimate weekend focusing on tasting, pairing, cocktails and meeting today’s whisky legends.

The show conceived by Atlanta entrepreneur and whisky collector Mahesh Patel was born out of the need to a more intimate setting for those with a passion for fine whisky to indulge. “The purpose of this weekend is to gather the country’s most passionate whisky lovers for tasting experiences they would not normally have access to,” Patel tells BourbonBlog.com. “Our guests will be wowed by the Nth show from the minute they check into their suites at Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, the newest all luxury suite property by Wynn. From VIP receptions to meeting with Master Mixologist Patricia Richards to taste a new twist on whisky cocktails, to indulging in chocolates made to pair with whiskies, the experience will be unparallel,” he continued.

The one of a kind luxury show will also showcase the best in class guests and a unique feature of the show is the opportunity to taste Patel’s curated list of SuperPours, including The Dalmore Astrum, Highland Park and Glenfarclas 1966.

Patel has also gone out of his way to insure that each guests’ palate is inspired by the best in class chefs from Encore at Wynn Las Vegas including Alex Stratta and Paul Bartolotta among others. “This is an all star line up – from what guests will experience on the plate as well as on the palate, says Patel. “Our Distillery Partners are excited about reaching this best of the best connoisseur and the opportunity to speak with them about their whisky’s thoughtfully and in a one on one atmosphere,” Patel tells us.

Recognizing that Aficionados might want to create a luxury weekend experience around the event but not all couples enjoy whisky equally Patel has created a special companion ticket whereby a couple share the weekend and the person who is not as interested in the tasting can still enjoy much of what the weekend offers.
