“Whiskey In The Winter has been a tremendous success and we look forward to expanding the event this year to the larger Grand Ballroom which will allow us to feature more whiskeys, more speakers, and more whiskey cocktails. We are also excited about the whiskey industry personnel travelling to St. Louis for this event- a testament to the positive response from the previous festivals,” states Amit Dhawan, managing partner of SYNERGY Productions LLC, the event producer. “Whiskey popularity continues to grow in the US and Missouri is a leading whiskey market in the country- Whiskey In The Winter is a festival that appeals to both whiskey novices and experts and showcases the wide world of whiskey- the mix of seminars, food and whiskies will offer something for everyone and help create an exciting evening of entertainment and whiskey education.”
