Ever dreamed of flying over the Grand Canyon while sipping on a rare scotch, or playing a round of golf at a Masters course with your favorite whisky distiller? How about enjoying a private tasting of a 50 year old Glenfiddich valued at $40,000 a bottle from inside the Grand Canyon?

The Universal Whisky Experience delivers this and much more when it returns for its third year to Las Vegas' Wynn Resort, March 1 through 2, 2013. This is not only the world's most lavish whisky-based experience, it is also the most substantive. Attendees will have the opportunity to take part in master classes taught by the industry's most respected names, as well as sample the rarest, finest premium whiskies from the top-tier brands and mingle with other connoisseurs, collectors and distillers.

"Whiskey enthusiasts value rarity and exclusivity not only in their sips, but also in their experiences," says Mahesh Patel, founder of the Universal Whiskey Experience. "In creating this year's experience, we've curated the finest and rarest whiskies, complemented by truly spectacular excursions."
