5th Annual MS Calgary Whisky Festival Raised Nearly $40,000.00!
Posted on February 28, 2016
It has been a busy few months, since the 5th annual MS Calgary Whisky Festival which took place on January 14, 2016 in the Lobby of the Jack Singer Concert Hall. Â I've been meaning to pull all the photos together, but late last week I received new motivation to finish the task... That was when I heard that this year's event raised nearly $40,000.00 for the MS Society's Calgary & Area Chapter. Funds raised go towards research into a cure, as well as programs that assist those afflicted with the condition.
This year's MS Calgary Whisky Festival featured 4 Master Classes: Highland Park with Dan Volway, Glenmorangie with Jordon Cameron, Amrut with Ashok Chockalingham and Tomatin with Scott Adamson. The total whisky list included more than 250 whiskies (listed below).
Kensington Wine Market has been the presenting sponsor since the beginning, and we are very proud to be their partner. We coordinate all the whisky presenters and assist in promoting the event and selling tickets. We also set up a few booths of our own to share our passion for the world's finest spirit! But we are not alone, the event has manysponsors. Nearly 30 different importers representing close to 80 different brands also donate their time, passion and product to what has quickly become one of Canada's best whisky festivals. Volunteers from the MS Society also donate their time to assist with all the setup, event management and the supervisory roles that an event like this requires. It is truly a team effort and we couldn't be more proud of our role in helping make it a success!
Below you will find a gallery of the photos from this year's event. Further down you'll find the whisky list. Hopefully we'll see you at the 6th Annual MS Calgary Whisky Festival in mid-January 2017!
