Whisky Live

Saturday 22 August 2026 | 12:00 PM

Whisky Live is back for another exciting year! You are not just tasting whisky - you are stepping into a guided journey through flavour, craft and history.

Whisky Live is an event where whisky enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike come together to indulge in fine whiskies from around the world. 

Hosted at JW Marriott, it is conveniently located near public transport.

Whisky lovers can sample an unlimited array of drams to excite your palate with new flavours and expressions and enjoy limited-edition releases to rare and exceptional whiskies.

Visit the exhibitors, learn about their distillery and experience their whisky flavours. You'll recognise some brands and discover new favourites from Scotland, Ireland, Japan, Australia, USA and more.

Grab your tote bag with your Whisky Live branded tasting glass to keep, a printed Tasting Guide describing the flavour profiles plus Whisky Live pen to mark your favourites.

Whisky tasting works up an appetite and you will enjoy complimentary hot/cold foods in between tastings.

Attend free Masterclasses, taste special releases and learn from brand ambassadors.

Visit the Rare & Old Bar featuring whiskies from closed distilleries or rare vintages and purchase a dram for a fraction of the bottle cost.

The Whisky Shop will be stocked with all your new favourites to take home at special Whisky Live prices.

Whisky Live - you'll never want to leave!
