Organised by Whisky Magazine, this year it attracted about 800 visitors. There is plenty to entice both the seasoned whisky-lover and novice: the chance to taste rare and sought-after whiskies and meet the experts often featured in the pages of Whisky Magazine, and to learn about the world of whisky and get a feel for the great variety of whiskies available, as well as expert advice.
A full two days is not sufficient time to enjoy even half of the whiskies/whiskeys on show, the sheer range of which will challenge even the most determined taster: everything from old favourites to unusual finishes to bourbons to rare bottlings – an astonishing variety. Just some of the big
names in whisk(e)y at the event this year were Aberlour, Bruichladdich, Glen Moray, Signatory, Woodford Reserve, Talisker, Highland Park, Gordon & Macphail, The Macallan, Chivas Regal and Buffalo Trace, with many more besides. Next year’s line-up will be even more comprehensive.
