While South Florida is regarded as one of the hottest markets for whiskies in the United States, the inaugural Miami Whisk(e)y Mash will be taking place March 2nd through March 7th this year.
The MWM will focus solely on the distinct class of spirits known as whiskies. There will be weeklong series of events including Seminars, Whisk(e)y Dinners, Happy Hours and more. The culminating event will be the Miami Whisk(e)y Mash-Whisk(e)y Expo, which will take place on Saturday, March 7th from 2:00PM – 6:00PM at Taurus in the Grove: Beer & Whisk(e)y House showcasing over 60 different expressions of whiskies ranging from – Irish, Scottish, Canadian, Japanese & American. Attendees will be able to enjoy UNLIMITED samples plus some fine hors d’oeuvres.
“The Miami Whiskey Mash is a natural progression in what we do to promote Spirits and Cocktail appreciation though the annual Craft Spirits Festival. The craftsmanship, the authenticity, the traditions that are associated with Whiskey deserves its own focused event. The inaugural year of this truly comprehensive and focused event offers an in depth study of a single type of spirit and it’s multiple expressions through exploration, education and enjoyment,” – Frank Moreno, Miami Whiskey Mash Founder.
