Win at Life By Going To The Universal Whisky Experience

Few things can and will universally make grown men giggle like schoolgirls and jump up and down for joy. Hearing the words “75-year-old scotch” is going to be one of those things.

In its sixth year, The Universal Whiskey Experience—the world’s first luxury whisky tasting experience—will be held at the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas from March 2-5. In that time, guests will be treated to the best of the best—the grand total value of the whiskies at the Universal Whisky Experience is estimated to be around $3 Million.

Three. Million.

“The Universal Whisky Experience is one-of-a-kind access to sips of rare whiskies, often poured by the Master Distiller himself,” says Universal Whisky Experience founder Mahesh Patel. “The event provides a forum for whisky enthusiasts and collectors to trade notes on their own purchases and collections,” he said.

There’s more to the event, though, than just some of the best whiskies in the world. Throughout the event, guests will be treated to exclusive brand master classes held by the Master Distillers and Blenders themselves, hors d’oeuvres that will blow your mind, and did we mention the whiskies? (Okay, we know we did, but come on—75-year-old scotch.)

Basically, this premiere event is the place to be if you consider yourself a scotch connoisseur.

This year, too, the Universal Whisky Experience is also offering the High Roller Package. Priced at $2495 for the three-day event, High Rollers will be treated to exclusive access to all show event and tastings including: the New High Roller Day on Thursday, March 3rd with private suite tastings and exclusive High Roller super pours, private events with other High Rollers, one-on-one meetings with brand ambassadors, a whisky speed dating event at Tableau, all Super Pours (valued at $300 and up per pour) at the Nth 2016 main tasting show, a gift bag unlike any other, and more.

This is not something to miss out on.

Throughout the seven years I've followed a low-carb or ketogenic diet, I've tested the world of the carnivore diet multiple times. The carnivore diet takes a low-carb diet to the next level as a no-carb diet, which consists only of animal proteins. From weight loss benefits to enhanced mental clarity, people choose to try carnivore diets for many reasons.

The carnivore diet can be followed in several ways, from rigorous forms to more relaxed and liberal variations. When I first tried it, one of my biggest concerns was giving up my true love: coffee. As it turns out, some diet versions allow for coffee, making it much more straightforward to adhere to (if you ask me).
