The Water of Life NYC is proud to announce the Second Annual Water of Life Fall Event, the WOLF, for this December 3
The WOLF is a premium whisky tasting to raise funds for the Life Raft Group, and was inspired last year by the generous donation of a bottle of York House Liqueur, a Blend of Whiskies, enjoyed in the place it was sold some 70+ years ago, Macy's Herald Square. After several drams, including current releases, old favorites, and even one contemporary to York House, guests moved on to Keen's for a 3 course meal paired with over 20 outstanding whiskies, and ended the evening with cigars at the Carnegie Club.
Last year's blow out event was meant to be a once in a lifetime tasting. Imagine enjoying several whiskies bottled over 70 years ago, several whiskies aged over 35-42 years, several ghosted distilleries, multiple bottles drawn and bottled from private casks for the event itself, and even the US debut of a couple of last year's more popular whiskies. One generous guest even brought a bottle of a single cask of Port Ellen, as he wanted to share his whisky with friends, and could think of no better place!
In fact, the one criticism of the WOLF was that there was too much whisky!?! Upon follow up, however when asked which whiskies should not have been poured the response was not a surprise, "That's not a fair question, they were all amazing. I just meant to save some for next year!"
Over the past few month's multiple brands have reached out asking about this year's WOLF, sharing some of the amazing whiskies they wanted to bring, or simply saying they have something special in mind. Soon after Feis Ile, last year's attendees began reaching out hoping to secure the date and book their hotels. Apparently wolves do travel in packs, so due to popular demand I am pleased to officially announce the Second Annual WOLF event for this December 3. So much for "Once in a Lifetime".
This year's event will begin at Keen's Steakhouse. Guests again will be greeted by 20 or so whisky ambassadors from NYC and around the globe, and get to enjoy a wonderful meal paired with unique and rare whiskies from some of their favorite brands. No self-respecting WOLF would pass up their world famous Mutton either.
The night will again conclude with cigars.
All proceeds will be donated to the Life Raft Group to use in the fight against GIST.
So be a social animal like the WOLF would, and enjoy a night of unicorns, mutton and cigars and join us as we raise our glasses and "Drink Whisky to Fight Cancer" this December.
Ticket price remains $750.
Slainte!
