Our event will take place over two days — Friday 28 March and Saturday 29 March 2025. Choose the day that suits you best and get ready for an incredible experience.

But that’s not all — whisky tasting is bound to work up an appetite, and we’ve got you covered. We’re excited to bring back a selection of mouth-watering street food options, available for purchase on the day.

For those seeking the ultimate whisky experience, our Whisky Live Premium Experience tickets are a must. Step into the Premium Lounge where you will receive two tokens to sample the rarest of liquids at our World Whiskies Award Premium Stand. This exclusive opportunity allows you to enjoy the whiskies in the company of your friends and fellow whisky enthusiasts alike in an exclusive setting.

And in the main hall, all ticket holders will have the exclusive opportunity to sample a limited selection of entrants to the World Whiskies Awards 2025. Immerse yourself in the world of whisky and discover some of the finest expressions that have earned recognition and acclaim.

Depending on your ticket type, your admission ticket enables you to sample any whisky from any of the stands that you choose (responsibly). Even though all samples are offered neat or with mixer, we reserve the right, together with the distillers behind the stands, to reject service if we feel it would be irresponsible or otherwise in accordance with responsible drinking guidelines. We provide ample drinking water, located in various points throughout the venue, for you stay hydrated, and there is plentiful seating both in the main arena and the courtyard area for you to sit and take a break. Please be mindful of your limitations.
