I'm more cautious with my travel plans after I have been to a whiskey trade show in Moscow in front of closed doors was because despite the great website and online registration will not yet held ... and when one of my Russian friends in the summer, said the venue for this year's Whisky Live is still under construction, I was keen of hearing and tried to learn a little more - and I'm far from assured:
on site The Whisky Live Moscow as the venue is the new "Capital City" Center reported in the vicinity of the fairgrounds, no indication of the exact part of the building or access (the complex is huge and still not finished ...) Everything takes what is a point on Google Maps
Then I wanted to even know what the exhibitors are taking place or what special tastings, but the program is somewhat cryptic. On the Web site it says only:
"Visitors can taste various whiskeys and have the opportunity to talk to the fire Ambassadors on the standsYes but what whiskeys? What Brand Ambassadors? What tastings?
Visitors can participate in grand tasting of whiskeys from around the world and the brand representatives questions. make. "
more about the exhibitors, whiskeys, dates, etc. I could not find on the website and then the organizers have tried to get an answer directly. But the persistent requests to have moved out of nothing, but persistently tried to get my data to check, if I or my friends would be acceptable as a visitor.
You can not just visit the show (even if you know the place), you must register and can then come eventually - but the least free. Even if they want to convey with this method like exclusivity and beggars outside before observed, they could also do this with a normal access control, as in other events in Moscow, worked good.
Sorry, but this much secrecy seems to me then but of something suspicious. In this way they will gain little if any new whiskey enthusiasts. And so it became this really the concept Whisky Live!
I were very curious what will tell me our friends and other whiskey traders from Moscow (our importer was this summer at least very skeptical that it happened at all and does not participate as an exhibitor) am.
Na Slainte & Sdorowje!
