The Whisky Show has announced its program for 2025, featuring a curated selection of Scottish, Japanese, New Zealand and Australian single malts, American whiskies and boutique offerings.

The tasting event brings together enthusiasts, connoisseurs and newcomers alike to experience the rich diversity of whisky from around the world.

Attracting international award-winning master distillers and brand ambassadors, the festival offers a unique opportunity to engage with brands and industry experts, access to rare expressions and the chance to discover your new favourite whisky.

Across 10 shows in 2025, ticket holders will have access more than 100 whiskies and show highlights including the Rare Whisky Bar, where they can buy a pour of limited and rare whiskies.

Co-founder David Ligoff said: “We can’t believe we’ve welcomed over 50,000 whisky enthusiasts through our festival doors since 2012.

“While our focus is always on showcasing the coolest and exciting new whiskies from all over the world, we have a number of new additions we’re introducing to the 2025 season, including meal vouches for all guests, new updates to the Show app, international guests and a few surprises including a straight from the cask bottling experience with a 10+ year old Tasmanian single malt.”

“It’s such a delight to witness the enthusiastic crowds of whisky lovers eagerly lining up, sometimes well in advance, ready for the shows. Regular attendees warmly welcome us, often introducing us to their accompanying friends, and all are eager to explore the depths of the whisky world. This camaraderie and shared passion define what the Whisky Shows are all about.”
