America's premier whiskey celebration 🥃 Whiskey Riot: A Festival of Whiskeys

The world of whiskey is vast; diving in can be daunting. WHO IS WHISKEY RIOT FOR?

Our festival offers samplings of hundreds of whiskeys, seminars and fantastic conversations with whiskey lovers, distillers, brand founders and more to arm you with the tools you need to become a whiskey expert. And, oh, yeah... you'll have one hell of a time. The Whiskey Lover, the Whiskey Curious, the Whiskey Enthusiast, The Whiskey Aficionado, The Whiskey Rookie. All are welcome! WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND? Discovering new whiskeys can be an expensive exploration. Signage in a liquor store and the details on a bottle’s label will only tell you so much. How do you know you’re going to take home something you love? There’s no better way to find your new favorite drink than side-by-side comparison tasting. Whiskey Riot is a large format tasting event complete with brand representatives who can answer questions, explain the nuances of what your tasting and leave you feeling armed with more whiskey knowledge. Taste hundreds of bottles without buying hundreds of bottles. Estimated Cost of 200 Bottles of Whiskey: $45/bottle x 200 bottles = $9,000

Cost of Trying 200 Whiskeys at Whiskey Riot = 1 Ticket

Redwood Empire brings a taste of Northern California to Wh***ey Riot 🥃🌲

Inspired by the legendary redwood forests that stretch along California’s northern coast, Redwood Empire Wh***ey makes craft wh***ey in a cool coastal climate that allows their barrels to age slowly and evenly.

And the bottles are just as distinctive as what’s inside. Each features unique woodcut artwork inspired by John Muir, a nod to the landscapes that helped shape the brand.

From balanced approachable pours to more complex expressions, Redwood Empire has plenty to explore — whether you’re a longtime wh***ey drinker or looking to find a new favorite.

We're proud to have featured Redwood Empire at Wh***ey Riot festivals around the country, and this fall, you’ll be able to taste Redwood Empire for yourself at Oklahoma City Wh***ey Riot on October 17.
