FAQs

Depending on your ticket type, your admission ticket enables you to sample any whisky from any of the stands that you choose (responsibly). Even though all samples are offered neat or with mixer, we reserve the right, together with the distillers behind the stands, to reject service if we feel it would be irresponsible or otherwise in accordance with responsible drinking guidelines. We provide ample drinking water, located in various points throughout the venue, for you stay hydrated, and there is plentiful seating both in the main arena and the courtyard area for you to sit and take a break. Please be mindful of your limitations.
