What to Eat at Philly Mag’s 2026 Whiskey & Fine Spirits Festival
Here's what to pair with the over 250 spirits that we'll be tasting at this year's event.
Moments from the 2024 Whiskey & Fine Spirits Festival
This year, Philadelphia magazine’s Whiskey & Fine Spirits Festival turns 25 and we’re throwing one hell of a party.
Join us at the Linc for a craft Irish whiskey tasting with Master Blender Jay Bradley, VIP tours of the Eagles’ locker room, a chance to see the Lombardi Trophies — now in a dedicated trophy room filled with Eagles memorabilia — and a meet and greet with two-time Super Bowl Champion and legendary Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham, who will be at the Jameson’s booth signing autographs and giving out a custom Birds flask … and that’s only a fraction of the fun we have planned.
Of course, there’ll be a lot to drink. Bartenders will be pouring plenty of whiskeys, scotches, and bourbons; but also vodka, gin, rum, and tequila distillers and brands serving up handcrafted cocktails. You can find the full list of spirits here.
