As frequent travelers know, it’s easy to find yourself in a new location from one day to the next. Being in a new places is part of the excitement of traveling.  It’s always exciting to hear when there may be a free happy hour near you. Earlier this year I went to a tasting event in New York at Burgundy and had a great time. This tasting is brought to you by Macallan and could be in a number of places.
Macallan is a maker of single malt Scotch whisky that was first distilled in Scotland in 1824. The distillery produces a number of “expressions” including a 10, 12, 18, 25, and many people’s favorite, the 30 year old version.

Bottom Line
The majority of the events appear to be in major cities. A sample search for New York yielded many results.
I want to second how great these are! Johnny Walker does these too (and gives a taste of the Blue). Jack Daniels doesn’t do them that often, but the one I went to in DC had a very nice BBQ spread to go with the tastings (and an open bar afterwards).
