Owned by the same family for generations, Astor Center is a distinctive place where the love for unique wines, craft spirits, and perfectly concocted cocktails can grow and evolve. Through the establishment's carefully curated events, you will find a venue where education, hospitality, and enjoyment collide.
The 2017 Whisky Smackdown is your chance to learn more about the beguiling brown sprits, hailing from the familiar (Scotland, Japan, the U.S.) to the uncharted (Austria, India, Taiwan). Each country has its own methods that result in distinct flavor profiles and delightful nuances.
Not only will you discover rare premium brands that you otherwise would not have encountered, you will also find out how to identify and describe the flavor profiles you love, so that you can order whiskies with confidence no matter what.
Finally, the evening will be helmed by none other than Robin Robinson, one of the country's most respected consultants to the American craft whisky industry, where he helps small brands identify their unique stories to penetrate and activate the marketplace.
