Many of you participated in the "Meet the Craft Distiller" at this summer's Tales of the Cocktail! If your marketing & distribution plan is to get into the Vancouver market place this is an excellent opportunity. ADI has partnered again with Tales of the Cocktail and offering this opportunity for ADI members only. Please feel free to contact me if I can assist in anyway...otherwise the pertinent info is listed below. Cheers,

You are invited to participate in the Meet the Maker Event Presented by American Distilling Institute, Legacy Liquor Store and Tales of the Cocktail®

This February Tales of the Cocktail returns to Vancouver, our “home away from home” for three days of seminars, tastings, special events and more, each featuring some of the biggest names in mixology from around the world. The much-heralded and long-awaited three-day “On Tour” celebration of cocktails and of the men and women who make and appreciate them is set for February 12-15, 2012.

In 2011, the Vancouver Tales of the Cocktail On Tour. It looks like everyone’s coming back, and bringing their friends! This unique event provides extraordinary exposure to one of the most sophisticated and enthusiastic group of mixologists (and their followers) in Canada and the Pacific Northwest. And this year, in an exclusive offer for ADI members, ADI is teaming up with Legacy Liquor Store (the largest spirits emporium in the province) to facilitate delivery of spirits for a Craft Distiller Showcase on February 13th, from 2:00-3:30 at the Fairmont Pacific Rim hotel.

The cost is $500. There are many great exposure opportunities (see details below), plus—for the first time—sampling opportunities throughout the week during prime times at the large Legacy Liquor retail store in downtown Vancouver. We only have 6 tables still available for Craft Distillers and once all those are filled up we cannot anymore tables.

For those of you who attended the extravaganza in New Orleans, the response the ADI Craft Distillers reception met was phenomenal. We expect no less in Vancouver.

Craft Distiller Showcase

· Monday, February 13, 2012

· Time— 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm

· Capacity—TBD (estimated 500 total)

Please respond to all if you are participating.
