This trip to Las Vegas was focused on our 3 Drunken Celts' event at The Whisky Attic; a seated tasting of 7 unique expressions per person that was crafted just for our group. It was an exceptional experience that provided some once in a lifetime bottle samples.

I've travelled to many places worldwide on my whisky trail and this place is easily in...

I was more than happy to pay a little extra to see my dad act like a kid in a candy store! Will definitely stop by here again...
