About this Event
On 2–3 July 2027, some of the world’s great whisky makers and drinks brands are taking over the HAC in the heart of the City of London.
There’ll be hundreds of whiskies and spirits to explore, from new releases, award winners to rare bottles, and old favourites. More importantly, you’ll meet the people behind them – the makers, experts and personalities with plenty of stories to tell and knowledge to share.
And that’s just the tasting floor.
There are masterclasses for those who want to go deeper, talks and Q&As with leading names in the industry, cocktails, and entertainment.
Know your single malt from your single grain? You’ll find plenty to get excited about.
Still working out which is which? You’ll be in very good company.
Whisky Live is for anyone who wants to discover what’s happening in whisky and fine spirits – and enjoy one of London’s great drinks experiences while they’re at it.
Master of Malt. Now part of the experience.
Tried something you’d quite like to see again? For 2027, Master of Malt is Whisky Live’s exclusive show retailer.
That means you can explore the bottles at the show, find exclusive offers and releases, enter competitions for the chance to win some exceptional whiskies, and order your favourites for next working day delivery.
We’ll provide the discoveries. Master of Malt will handle the delivery.

At the World Whiskies Awards stand, you’ll find a selection of 2027’s award-winning whiskies, alongside rare, exclusive and high-value bottles chosen especially for the show.
Your Signature ticket includes two World Whiskies Awards tasting tokens, and additional tokens will be available to purchase if something special catches your eye. Better still, proceeds from additional tasting tokens will be donated to .
And it’s not just whisky.
New for 2027, the World Drinks Awards Winners Stand brings together newly crowned award-winning spirits from around the world.
Think gin, tequila, rum, sake, liqueurs and more – with the winners announced just days before Whisky Live opens its doors.
It’s a chance to go beyond your usual order, try something different and find out what an award winner actually tastes like.
The medals have been decided. Now it’s your turn to taste them.
