Ahhh Edinburgh, and the gorgeous Assembly Rooms, one of our favourite places to bring a whisky festival to!About this Event
If you haven’t been to one of our festivals before you are in for a treat! If you have, then you know what to expect, only this year we are back bigger and better.
You’ll get to sample the best home-grown whiskies from Scotland, as well as all corners of the globe. The Edinburgh Whisky Festival attracts the finest distillers from as far afield as India, Japan, the USA and even England!
Simply approach any of the exhibitors stands, ask politely for a dram and you shall receive a tasty glass of whisky (it really is that simple!). Every exhibitor knows their whiskies inside out and it’s well worth taking advantage of this knowledge.

We deliberately set specific session times so the festival doesn’t get overcrowded, meaning you can sip and swallow at your own pace.

The boring bit
Please, please ensure you buy tickets for the right session. We set strict limits on the number of tickets for each session so visitors can enjoy their whisky at their own pace. We are unable to swap tickets on the day. But, we’re mostly all human, so if you do buy the wrong session by accident, email [email protected] as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to sort out the muddle.
Code of Conduct
We will not tolerate any kind of abuse, whether it be racial, gender-based or anything else. We do not allow potentially offensive clothing or behaviour. We reserve the right to refuse entry and remove any offenders.
Just be a kind and decent human!
Last Pour
Please note: ‘last pour’ is always 15 minutes prior to the session end time. This is non-negotiable!
All attendees must be 21 or over – photo ID may be required.
This venue does have disabled access via an appropriate ramp and/or lift. If in doubt or you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]
