Glasgow Whisky Festival

An indoor tasting event bringing 30+ exhibitors to Glasgow for a day of whisky sampling. Mix of major distilleries, independent bottlers, and specialist retailers. Each ticket includes a tasting glass and tokens for a set number of drams. More accessible than the destination festivals (Fèis Ìle, Spirit of Speyside) — no accommodation needed, no ferry required, just a Saturday afternoon in the city centre. A good entry point for whisky beginners and a solid way for experienced drinkers to taste new releases.
