Report about 2 Shows in Paris :

This was initially planned to be a live show rather than a video, but, considering how bad is my connection currently, I’ve decided meanwhile to record a video & then release it as a « Première », in order to be able to interact with you in the chat this Sunday, 22 of September...So there you have it, a report about 2 shows I have recently visited this month, gathering over 30 brands of whisky & other spirits (time stamps after the description below) :

1/The « France Quintessence » 2024 show, hosted this year by the « SIRH/+ Omnivore /Food & Paris Coffee show...located in Parc Floral, Vincennes. It is a big show, that, honestly, I didn’t had time to visit, except for the « France Quintessence » show area : As usual I wanted to focus on whisky & then, if possible, a few other spirits. Note that this show is only intended to present whiskies & other spirits from France...

2/ The « Salon Club-Expert Dugas » 2024 show, located this year again in the beautiful site which is, by the way, classified as a "historical monument". It is where the Maison Dugas (an importer & distributor of mainly whisky & other spirits, but also of some fortified or not wines…) shows his novelties & presents its brands to professionals, but, since a few years, also to the public audience. This show is about whiskies & other spirits from Scotland & other countries including a few French brands as well...Dugas is a rival of « La Maison du Whisky », who will organize his own show in 2 weeks, the « Whisky Live Paris » show, for which I will do a separate video in October...Stay tuned !

As usual, time stamps will help you navigate into the video (please note that they will be fully disclosed after the Première). Thanks in advance for watching, and even more to those who will watch this in its entirety.
