Back to normality, our 2023 event took place on Saturday November 25th. It was a bright day and the rain stayed away for the unloading and packing away so we were all very grateful for that! We were back up to our usual numbers and we had many happy faces streaming through the door, pen, glass and brochure in hand and ready to start the day! The Golden Dram was a Bladnoch 19yo PX release which had just come out. They were delighted to get the kudos for what was obviously, going by the number of votes, a very popular dram!

Here are some of the companies that were represented at the event showing well over 200 products

GLENFARCLAS – CADENHEAD’S – LINDORES ABBEY – CLAXTON’S WHISKIES – BLADNOCH – ISLE OF ARRAN – LAGG – TAMDHU – LOCHLEA – TULLIBARDINE – TOMATIN – ANNANDALE DISTILLERY – AN CNOC – OLD PULTENEY – GLENALLACHIE – GLASCHU SPIRITS – BERRY BROS & RUDD – NINEFOLD RUMS TOMINTOUL – DARK ART DISTILLERY – EL RAYO TEQUILA – FETTERCAIRN – JURA – ROCK ROSE – FABLE WHISKIES – GLEN SCOTIA

This was our first post lockdown Whisky Festival and what an event it was! Held in June rather than in our more normal November, it was a tad warmer for our door staff than they are used to but the lovely day didn’t deter our customers from coming along to sample the goods on offer. The Golden Dram was won by Claxton’s Ben Nevis 25yo “A Different Cut” which was received an overwhelming vote on the day.

There were many stands to visit on the day showing well over 200 products including, but not exclusive to the following

GLENFARCLAS – ISLE OF RAASAY – LINDORES ABBEY – CLAXTON’S WHISKIES – BENRIACH – ISLE OF ARRAN – GLENGOYNE – OLD PERTH – LOCH LOMOND GROUP – TULLIBARDINE – BENROMACH – TOMATIN – ANNANDALE – SPEYBURN – GLENALLACHIE – KILCHOMAN – DEANSTON – GLENCADAM – DALMORE – BRUICHLADDICH – GLASGOW 1770
