Whiskey Tasting in Kansas City
What would Ireland be without Irish whiskey? Evidently the organizers of the Kansas City Irish Fest have heard the mumblings because for the eighth annual event there’s a Whiskey Tasting Tent at the fest, set for September 2 through 4, 2011, in the Crown Center Square, 2450 Grand Boulevard, Kansas City, Missouri.
Of course, only those 21 and older can get in — and, yes, IDs will be checked at the door. But, once you’re in, Road Trips Foodies, you will be able to sample as many as six whiskeys during a 45-minute presentation by a Jameson Ambassador, followed by a 30 minute Q & A. Whiskey Tasting tickets are $15 at the fest. Note: This special event does require a separate admission ticket to the festival (which is $15 at the gate), so we’re talking $30 all together.
Dates and times for the Jameson tastings are 8 p.m. September 2, 1 and 4 p.m. September 3, and 1 and 4 p.m. September 4. The tasting tix are date and time specific.
Oh, yeah: there’ll be all that other Irish fest stuff, too. You know: Celtic music, dancing, merchandise vendors and all the rest. But with a Jameson Whiskey Tasting, all that blends into the background, eh?
