ABOUT

The ULTIMATE Whisky and Bar Show is proudly brought to you by Emperors Palace and Paragon Africa and will feature 30 whisky exhibitors and 10 cocktail bars. In between the tasting, grab a bite at one of Joburg's hippest food trucks, or take home something handcrafted and unique from one of the carefully curated market stalls selling artisanal goods. Try your hand at the Whisky Wheel of Fortune to win your chance to taste rare, exclusive or unavailable-in-SA whiskies.


On Saturday 2 November, arrive early and watch the RWC2019 Final on the big screen. The Food Trucks and cocktail bars will be open. The whisky tastings will open after the game.

Hector McBeth and Guy McDonald - yep, the two Mac's - have been sharing their insights into the world's best whiskies with listeners of the Two Mac's and a Dram show on Magic282AM for a while now - long enough for them to have sunk rather a few drams between them!


They're both passionate about whisky and Hector is something of a whisky guru, one might say. He's renowned in the whisky industry for his knowledge on this liquid amber, and enjoys nothing more than sharing this passion and knowledge with , well, anyone who enjoys a wee dram or is keen to learn more about whisky - from beginner to specialised collector.


The show has done so well on Magic828 that we've created a live, experiential event where listeners and lovers of whisky can stop imagining the flavours, textures and noses of the whiskies the Mac's introduce on-air - but can actually come and see, smell and taste them themselves. And even purchase the ones they love to take home and nurse slowly.


Alongside the whisky experience, we'll be introducing a Cocktail Bar extravaganza featuring some of the hottest award-winning bars in SA. We're talking winners of the SA Bar Awards as well some top local whisky bars. These guys will not only thrill your taste buds with their exotic mixology but will thrill your senses with their spectacular showmanship while they whip up (possibly literally) your cocktail!


An exclusive lounge for invited guests, media and VIP's will be available on all three days. For information or invitations, please email Leanne.
