Fellow Drammers!
Our 2026 gathering of the members — “The Drammening” — is here! It will take place Thursday, Feb. 26th through Sunday, March 1st.
This event listing is for the event at 6pm on Sunday, Mar. 1st — our final gathering of the members before we all disperse back to our respective homes. We’ll announce the winners of the blind awards tasting from Saturday morning. Details on this event are being finalized, and may involve dinner at a restaurant (if so, members will buy their own dinners which will not be included in the all access pass). We have something specific in mind that we’re trying to finalize, but we didn’t want to hold up announcing the rest of the festival, so this final event is a work in progress. Details to come.
The venue location will be sent to those who sign up closer to the event. All events at the Drammening are $20 for Members and $35 for non-members, or you can get an “All Access” pass that is $120 for Members and $150 for Non-Members. For those coming in from out of town, the closest casinos are Gold Coast, Orleans, The Palms etc., which are less expensive than the ones on the Strip. There is always a chance the schedule of events will change, though it is unlikely at this point. Currently the schedule of events is as follows:

5pm - William Grant & Sons Tasting of The Balvenie, Glenfiddich, Tullamore DEW

6pm - Closing Awards Dinner* (this is being finalized and will possibly be a dinner at a restaurant, if so, the all access pass will include access to the event, but everyone will buy dinner on their own, separate from the “all access pass”)
There will be informal events around this to go to great bars like Bar Ginza, Golden Tiki and the allmighty Sand Dollar Lounge etc. before and after this schedule of events.
