Whisky Live Macau 2024 was held from October 11 to 13 at Grand Lisboa Palace (GLP) in Cotai, with the three-day event having attracted over 1,000 local and international attendees to sample offerings from over 40 exhibitors, SJM Resorts said in a statement yesterday.
The event marked its Macau debut and was organised by the integrated resort operator in conjunction with Whisky Magazine.
The statement quoted Whisky Magazine HK & Macau Edition Executive Director Eddie Chui as saying in his speech at the event’s welcome dinner that the event “showcased whiskies from different countries and regions, allowing visitors to appreciate their unique qualities. Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, including masterclasses, pairing dinners, special cocktails, and live musical performances. The success of this event marks a significant milestone for Macau in the global whisky industry”.
SJM Managing Director Daisy Ho Chiu Fung was quoted as saying: “With this new collaboration with Whisky Magazine, we hope to open up a new world of refined tastes into the realm of whisky. We aim to continue attracting a wider audience to Macau through gastronomy and contribute to our city’s reputation as a ‘World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.’”
The statement said that the event featured over 300 curated whiskies for guests to explore, a Cocktail Garden set at Jardim Secreto (“Secret Garden”), and 14 fully booked masterclasses led by whisky experts from around the world, among other highlights.
The statement added that a whisky dinner experience is available until November 17 at Palace Garden and Mesa by José Avillez, and one can call 8881 1800 for more information.
