Have you ever been to a whisky festival?
They are a great day out with friends, doing something different, even those who aren't normally whisky drinkers (there will generally be other things there too).
Whisky festivals are a fantastic way to learn about whisky, without spending much. It's eye-opening how much more to whisky there is than we first experience.
At most events the cost of the ticket covers all samples, so you can explore as much as you want without breaking the bank, learning about how they are made, variances between brands and regions, how different styles have very different flavours, and hopefully find new favourites you'd like to investigate further.
The best bit is that whisky people a really supportive community, all wanting to learn more and help others on their whisky journeys.
The last few years has seen the growth of smaller regional whisky festivals, bringing the whisky to you, as opposed to the massive trade dominated events, making it even easier to try one out and have some #WhiskyFun.
To help everyone find their local #WhiskyFestival I have created a map and list of all the events in the UK....obviously the best being the Summerton Whisky Festival on 18th May in St Albans (but I might be biased 😁).
I've include the link to the festival list/map in the comments below...hopefully I'll share a dram with you at one of there, or even my festival 🥃.
