WHISKY LIVE

Whisky Live, known across the globe as the

world’s premier whisky tasting show, has been a regular feature of the whisky lover’s calendar

in London for more than 10 years. It has expanded across the globe and is now hosted in

20 countries, and in many more cities. Each year the event brings huge excitement;

last year’s London event included exhibitors from all over the world, and boasted some of

the most revered whisky brands from the USA, Ireland, Japan and of course Scotland.

The event, as ever, offered unlimited pourings, delicious food and inspiring master-

classes, led by industry experts, who helped us take our understanding of this extraordinarily

diverse spirit to another level. And all, once again, in the beautiful surroundings of the

Honourable Artillery Company. Last year also saw Whisky Live joined, right next door, by its

brand-new sister event, Gin Live, which proved to be as exciting for gin lovers as Whisky Live

has always been for its own fraternity.

Despite the success of last year’s events, the

current global Covid-19 pandemic forced us to postpone the London event for the time being.

We have seen many of the Whisky Live shows around the world suffer similarly. Our decision

to postpone comes at a time when protecting the health and safety of guests, exhibitors,

speakers and staff is paramount and the most responsible thing to do.

However, when it is safe to do so, whisky lovers can rest assured that the Whisky Live

organisers in London and all over the world will stop at nothing to ensure that the events

will happen with all the excitement, the brands and the spectacle that Whisky Live has become

known for. For now, the most up-to-date information on

Whisky Live London 2020 and all of this year’s other events and for updates on the current

ǡβ dates, will appear on the Whisky Live website,

Due to Covid-19, Whisky Live dates around the world in 2020 are being reviewed, so keep an eye out for the updates on http://www.whiskylive.com.

premier whisky tasting show for the rest of 2020
