WhiskyPLUS returns to KL on October 26, 2024, at Eastin Hotel. Discover premium whiskies at Malaysia’s top event.
The Return of WhiskyPLUS: Malaysia’s Premier Whisky Event is Back!
WhiskyPLUS is no ordinary event; it’s a curated celebration of whisky craftsmanship, passion, and culture. This year’s WhiskyPLUS event features two sessions showcasing top-notch whiskies from around the globe. It promises to be a sensory delight. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or a curious newcomer, WhiskyPLUS offers an immersive experience tailored to every palate.
This year, the tasting room spans an impressive 7,200 square feet, ensuring plenty of room for exploration. Attendees can roam freely, sampling an eclectic mix of whiskies, including renowned Scottish malts, bold American bourbons, and rising stars from Japan and Australia. The space is designed to encourage conversation and connection, so don’t be shy—whisky is best enjoyed in good company.
A Taste of Exclusivity: Masterclasses and VIP Experiences
New for 2024, WhiskyPLUS introduces a series of exclusive spirits tasting masterclasses. This year’s spotlight shines on the award-winning Archie Rose Distilling Co. from Sydney, Australia, known for its innovative and meticulous approach to distilling. With over 400 awards under its belt, Archie Rose offers a masterclass experience that’s as educational as it is enjoyable. Exclusively available for VIP ticket holders, these sessions provide a rare opportunity to deepen your knowledge of whisky and other spirits, making your journey through WhiskyPLUS even more enriching.
And speaking of VIP experiences, guests opting for the premium pass are in for a treat. Along with access to the masterclasses, VIPs will enjoy a dedicated lounge and the highly sought-after Collector’s Corner—a treasure trove of rare and limited-edition whiskies available for purchase by the dram. It’s the ultimate way to savor the finer things in life and indulge in whiskies you won’t find anywhere else.
Beyond the Whisky: Cigars, Cocktails, and More
WhiskyPLUS isn’t just about whisky—it’s an all-encompassing event that brings together a host of complementary experiences. Fancy a cigar to pair with your dram? You’re in luck. The event’s exclusive cigar booth offers a curated selection of both Cuban and non-Cuban cigars, providing the perfect complement to your tasting journey. Step outside to the Eastin Hotel’s cigar lounge and unwind in style.
For those who prefer non-alcoholic options or simply need a palate cleanser, WhiskyPLUS partners with Monin, Mister Coffee, and Spritzer to serve up an array of mocktails, premium coffee drinks, and sparkling water. This thoughtful selection ensures that even the most discerning guests can find something to suit their taste.
Choose Your Adventure: Session Options and Exclusive Perks
WhiskyPLUS accommodates everyone’s schedules with two distinct tasting sessions. The first runs from 12 PM to 4:30 PM, and the second from 5:30 PM to 10 PM. Both sessions offer incredible whisky selections, but with potential variations in exhibitors, adding an element of surprise to each experience.
Every guest, regardless of ticket type, will receive a commemorative Glencairn-style whisky-tasting glass. This allows them to savor their samples authentically. A whisky glass holder lanyard is also provided, enabling guests to enjoy the event hands-free and fully immerse themselves.
For those seeking a truly luxurious experience, VIP tickets offer an elevated journey, with exclusive access to a range of premium whiskies, private lounges, and additional surprises to make the evening truly unforgettable.
Whisky and Wheels: Maserati Adds a Touch of Luxury
This year, WhiskyPLUS partners with Maserati, the iconic Italian car brand known for elegance and performance. Maserati will showcase its latest models, allowing guests to admire these sleek machines up close. This collaboration adds a layer of sophistication and excitement for whisky lovers who appreciate the finer things in life.
