MAG to Stage Bourbon Tasting at Agent Summit
LAS VEGAS — Agent Summit organizers announced today that Maximus Auto Group will host a blind bourbon tasting at the event, which will be held May 21–24, 2017, at Paris Las Vegas. Participants will be entered into a drawing to win a bottle of 12-year-old Pappy Van Winkle Special Reserve bourbon, widely recognized as the world’s rarest and most sought-after brand.
“One of the great things about living in Bourbon Country is the access to diverse and rare bottles, some of which you can only find in Louisville,” said Dean Harrison, president of Maximus Auto Group. “We know agents will appreciate the opportunity to sample some high-end selections and the chance to walk away with our bottle of Pappy Van Winkle. It was extremely difficult to come by, but we look forward to giving it away.”
The bourbon tasting and Pappy Van Winkle giveaway will extend over all four days of the Agent Summit schedule. A special booth will be set up during the evening receptions on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings, and the Pappy drawing will be held during a special session on Wednesday morning.
During their tasting, agents will be given a tasting card. They will be asked to guess which bourbon is the most expensive, has the highest proof or a special finish. Whether or not they guess correctly, their tasting card will serve as an entry to the drawing.
Attendees can double their chances of winning the Pappy by preregistering for a tasting time here. Attendees who preregister will be given an additional tasting card; the winner does not need to be present at the drawing to claim their prize.
“We appreciate MAG’s support and their willingness to part with their bottle of Pappy Van Winkle,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of Agent Entrepreneur and F&I and Showroom. “The bourbon tasting is a classy addition to our event and one I know agents will enjoy.”
More information about Agent Summit 2017, including speakers, sponsors, registration and hotel, is available at the event’s website.
