Scottish whisky festival announces new date after Storm Eowyn cancellation

THE Scottish National Whisky Festival has announced a new date after it was postponed in January due to Storm Eowyn.

The festival will return to Glasgow on Saturday, April 5, and will now take place at the city’s SEC, with a 30% increased size and capacity.

This will make the festival it's biggest edition to date and one of the largest whisky exhibitions in the country.

The festival will also return to Inverness, Aberdeen and Edinburgh in 2025.

Festival-goers will be able to sample hundreds of whiskies from world-renowned distilleries and independent bottlers.

The full list of exhibitors will be announced before event day.

In addition to an extensive whisky line up, the event will also feature guest exhibitors, showcasing Scottish rums, liqueurs and more alongside pop-ups from the likes of Glasgow's multi-award-winning cocktail bar, The Absent Ear.

Live entertainment will also feature music from Scottish performers in collaboration with Celtic Connections, as well as seminars from voices within the whisky world alongside industry experts. 

All products sampled will be available to purchase directly from each exhibitor stand with exclusive festival discount.

From Gareth Croll, festival co-ordinator: "I'm so excited to reveal our country-wide festival plans for 2025, but first and foremost, the announcement of a new date for our much-loved Glasgow edition in April will surely steal the show!

"We were devastated to have to postpone January’s festival in SWG3 due to Storm Eowyn, however, we've turned it into a positive and with the space available in SEC the overall size of our event has in fact grown! We are all raring to go and can’t wait to deliver a landmark day for Scottish whisky, music and culture - see you there!" 

Tickets are on sale here for Scottish National Whisky Festival Glasgow edition.
