    Johnnie Walker - Journey of Taste
    Yesterday after work i went to the Johnnie Walker - Journey of Taste with my wife, she got an invitation. While we were at the cocktail party i asked where she got the invitation the sources are unknown. I didn't care too much, long as we were there, eating and drinking. I had a blast, only thing that upset me was the stupid parking, there is no parking anywhere on the streets of philly, and i had to park it in the Double Tree Inn parking garage. Through out the evening they had cocktails, hors d'oeuvers, and an educational whisky tasting session. I got there and headed straight for the food, i had lite lunch and didn't want to hit the drinks right away (smart drinker). They had lots of cheese and crackers and some other non-vegetarian pastries which i didn't bother with. They also has this other interesting item, it was pastry puff shaped like samosa(indian food), stuffed with spinach, cheese, and I believe onion, but I enjoyed the roasted peppers, with cheese on the piece of Italian bread the most. I got myself Johnnie Walker (JW) black label sour, i had never tried it and from one of the booklet they provided that was the only drink that sounded interesting. They were serving the followings:
    JW and Ginger ale
    JW and cola
    JW sour
    JW on the rocks
    JW manhattan
    JW rusty nail

    I didn't bother trying others, except taking few sips of JW with Ginger ale from my wife's glass, which i happened to finish 1/2 glass of and finished my drink in 30min period, that cocktail was from 6pm to 6:30, and they had the herd moved into the auditorium, where they laid out countless shot glasses of JW, 5 per each person and there were about 100-125 people there roughly. So we sat down and there were 5 shot glasses on a board which showed what each of the shots were, and we saw the history and an educational whisky presentation, the host was wearing a quilt, and he even played the bag pipes. Finally after that we were going to taste the whisky they had 3 new flavors and they are Fresh fruits, Earthy smoke, and Rich fruits, and i mentioned before there were total of 5 shots, the other 2 shots were of the traditional JW black label. We did the sampling and learned how to taste and test whisky and by the end of the night i had a decent buzz, on the way out i was hoping to get a bottle or two of the samples, instead they handed out JW pins. I just thought to myself, more then 1/2 of the crowd was drunk, why would they hand out more whisky, i don't think they'd want to be held responsible for the people that attended the event. I had a blast and it was fun, interesting and educational.
