The Whisky Lounge are holding The Edinburgh Whisky Festival on 16 June 2018 at the Assembly Rooms.

There will be more than 30 producers, makers and bottlers from  Taiwan, India and Japan and other places in between.

If you are a whisky novice then you can take part in a beginners tasting and festival tour which will lead you to your Whisky Heaven. There you will get the chance of taking part in Q&A sessions with experts like Charles Maclean, Distell Master Blender, Kirstie McCallum and Director of the whisky society Keepers of the Quaich Annabel Meikle.

Eddie Ludlow, Founder of The Whisky Lounge, said: “We are celebrating ten years of spreading the gospel of whisky and our sixth event in Edinburgh.

“Our mission is to shake-off any preconceptions people may have about our national drink and present whisky in a fun, laid-back way.

“This year’s event will be whisky heaven, with hundreds of different malts to try and the opportunity to meet some of the whisky-world’s most renowned experts.”

Taking place at the Assembly Rooms on George Street, Edinburgh, on Saturday 16th June, tickets to the Edinburgh Whisky Festival start at just £20. Attendees are invited to join one of two sessions throughout the day, either 12-4pm or 5-9pm.
