“…just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for involving us and to congratulate you for a job well done! …very well put together and we were honored to be a part of it.”

“We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how much we enjoyed the show. We came from Alabama to attend…and it was well worth it. There were many magical moments….an incredible opportunity to taste the best Mezcals produced…we have been seeking Templeton Rye for over 6 months and their booth was our first stop…(Charbay’s) unaged product was a clear winner.We would nominate it as “best of Show’. My wife and I had a wonderful eveing and met many fine folks, both attendees and exhibitors. I applaud the exhibitors for their participation …and the movement of small batch artisanal spirits.”

“That was a fantastic event….the perfect ratio of exhibitors to attendees. …full and fun…you could walk up to any booth and within 30 seconds be chatting to the people behind it who were usually involved in the making of the product on display. The range of spirits for sample and comparison was fantastic and often enlightening. I can’t wait for next year. Thanks again.”

“ I had a great time attending the ISf Saturday night, as did my guests. It turned out to be a fantastically unique and special gift, as hoped . Between the delicious chees and the 100 or so spirits we tasted…(it was) certainly worthwhile”

“..With so many spirits to choose from I had to narrow my tastings...I paired whiskeys with choclates, my tequilas with chutneys. The distillers were friendly and accessible. The room sizes were great for the number of people. See you next year”

Jim R.

“My friend and I had a great time at the ISF---much better than we’d expected, and we expected a lot!. I was surprised by the variety and extent of vendors involved, and their generosity. A chance to try Del Maguey Pechuga was worth the price of admission alone.The food was great, the crowd friendly…the wonderful surprises: Charbay whiskies, the Port Charlotte, Anchor’s Hotalings and Genivieve, the amazing Germain Robin grappas and so much more..”
