There’s a famous saying about the best-laid plans. That’s why we came up with one so simple it can’t go wrong: people we like, in places we like, with a drink we love. Sound like a plan?
Whisky Week is your chance to join us. Sample Scotland’s best whiskies in some of its finest and funkiest establishments, with a crowd keen on sharing in the spirit. Each Whisky Week festival grants access to a curated list of drams at specially-selected venues throughout our host cities of Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, as well as tours, tastings, and other experiences. Find new favourites and share in old ones, both in the bottle and the bars where you discover them. Whether it’s highland or lowland, 14- or 40-year old, hometown hidden gems or distant discoveries, Whisky Week is your chance to try everything that whisky has to offer! Just drams, no drama.
Whisky Week operates on a simple philosophy: good whisky is better with a story. That means discovering drams that will knock your socks off with folk that’ll put them back on for you, in places you’ve never set foot in! We want to create a space in Scotland’s cultural calendar for whisky enthusiasts of all varieties – from the casual dabbler to the seasoned connoisseur – to come together and share their love of our greatest export in some of our most brilliant venues.
To do that, we want you to be able to focus on the drams, not the plans, so we’ve got the details worked out for you. Purchase a festival ticket from our website, then head to your local whisky retailer to pick up your exclusive Whisky Week wristband and guide, featuring a specially selected showcase of venues in each host city, exclusive offers at these establishments, and a tailored showcase of superb whisky waiting to be sampled. Then, simply show your wristband at participating venues to start your exploration of whisky wonderland…
And while we think the fun of the festival is almost worth it on its own, we also make sure you’re getting a sweet (or smoky) deal for coming along for the ride. Your Whisky Week wristband opens up a bunch of fantastic benefits, including discounts on celebrated classics, new nips, and local favourites, as well as access to exclusive experiences that will introduce you to fresh places, and give fresh faces to the ones you thought you knew.
We work with some of the most well-known names in the whisky industry to make sure that the Whisky Week experience lives up to your excitement and our expectations. From household names, such as Glen Moray, to exciting newcomers, like Whisky Craft, you can be sure that the best and brightest will be joining in the festivities across the city. So whatever your vibe and whatever your tipple, there’ll be something for you around every corner!
Whether it’s uncovering new favourites in old haunts or old favourites in new ones, those moments of discovery are what make each Whisky Week truly one-of-a-kind and why the festival keeps growing bigger and better every year, with more venues, more experiences, and most importantly, more whisky, shared with even more passionate people. A singular blend of the warmth of what feels familiar with the excitement of what’s fresh, each Whisky Week is a unique chance to explore the best of what you know and love with a taste of what you never knew you did.
Grab your ticket now to guarantee access to one of the best weeks of your year. We’d love to have you with us.
