Take a deep dive into the modern world of spirits and live music with Scottish National Whisky Festival - the definitive whisky and cultural experience.

Scottish National Whisky Festival brings together an exceptional line up of exhibitors from across the drinks industry spectrum, with hundreds of whiskies and other spirits available to sample over each session.

From delicate and approachable drams to peat-powered favourites; well known core releases to brand new and hard to find editions, festival exhibitors are on hand to inform and ultimately guide beginners and enthusiasts alike as they embark on their unique tasting journey.

Each session is complimented by a specially-curated bill of live music and entertainment from celebrated Scottish performers, handpicked to reflect the energy and identity of each festival. The line up is kept under wraps until shortly before each event, so make sure you keep an eye out on official Scottish National Whisky Festival socials for updates.

Festival goers can also enjoy an exciting range of guest spirits (including including rum, cognac, liqueurs and more); cocktails by industry-leading mixologists; brewery collaborations; food vendors and exclusive masterclasses, held as fringe events across each host city – ensuring there is truly something for everybody to immerse themselves in at each festival edition.

And finally, no day spent at Scottish National Whisky Festival would be complete without a visit to the on-site whisky shop for an exceptional selection of bottles to take home - including festival exclusive bottlings - courtesy of our expert partner retailers.
