Disney Festival of Holidays Invites Guests to a Joyous Celebration Filled wit...Pablo Carrillo
At Disney California Adventure Park, the popular Disney Festival of Holidays is back with the sights, sounds and tastes of cherished holidays, creating a magical experience for guests through diverse culturalfestivities and seasonal traditions, Nov. 12, 2021 through Jan. 9, 2022.
Disney Festival of Holidays is an uplifting, heartwarming and uniquely Disney celebration that celebrates traditions associated with Christmas, Navidad, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa and Three Kings Day. The festivities include live entertainment, holiday shopping and eight food marketplaces where guests will sip and savor culinary delights. A team of Disney chefs drew on inspiration from their own unique stories to create some of the festive foods on the marketplace menus. Younger guests will also enjoy fun crafts such as coloring greeting cards and making ornaments and lanterns to learn more about these holiday traditions.
After the success and controversy caused by last years seminar we want to bring it back bigger and better with a breakdown of where flavor comes from and why age is just a number, it doesn't tell you anything about the quality of the contents of your bottle of whisky.
It’s an age-old question: when it comes to spirits, does older mean better? This seminar will challenge even the most seasoned palates to answer that question tasting some of the rarest and unique whiskies from Diageo’s warehouses in Scotland many of these whiskies have never been tasted by anyone outside of Diageo before.
The Diageo Whisky team, including those behind of some of the most iconic single malts from Talisker and Lagavulin, will be joined again by World-renowned author Dave Broom to lead a blind tasting of whiskies with vastly varying ages from Diageo’s stocks including liquid that has never been offered to the public before.
Attendees will hear how single malts and blends have evolved since the beginning of the 20th Century through to the modern day by changes in production, through to the corks used. They will also learn how multiple flavors from different types of casks make up what we know as a single malt, as they taste the whiskies.
The panel will ask participants for their opinions of each, before the grand revealing of the names and, more importantly, their ages. Attendees will discover what their favorite whisky was, followed by an opportunity to ask questions about each.
Will the older whiskies live up to the hype? There were some real revelations last year and this year will be no exception.
