The Scottish National Whisky Festival is set to return to Inverness this summer, bringing a celebration of Scotland’s most iconic spirit back to the Highland capital on Saturday 5 July.
Hosted once again at Eden Court, the festival has become a cherished fixture in the city’s cultural calendar.
This year’s Inverness edition follows a record-breaking outing in Glasgow earlier in the year, which marked the festival’s largest and most ambitious event to date.
Now, organisers are promising a summer session that blends rich tradition with exciting new voices from across the world of whisky.
Festival-goers can look forward to sampling hundreds of whiskies from a diverse line-up of distilleries and independent bottlers.
From classic Highland and Islay expressions to bold newcomers and rare gems, the selection is designed to suit every palate.
The full list of exhibitors will be revealed in the days leading up to the event, with updates posted across the festival’s channels.
In true Highland fashion, there will be more than whisky to enjoy.
The day will feature live performances from celebrated Scottish musicians, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere that the event is known for.
Visitors can also explore the on-site whisky shop, stocked with an exceptional range of bottles to take home.
That includes festival exclusives, selected in partnership with leading whisky retailers.
Festival organisers said they are thrilled to return to Inverness and excited to share what they’ve been working on.
They called it one of the festival’s most anticipated stops and promised an unforgettable experience for whisky lovers old and new.
Tickets are on sale now and early booking is advised.
For many, this is a rare opportunity to taste world-class whiskies, connect with makers and experts, and soak up the unmistakable spirit of the Highlands in full celebration.
The summer session promises good company, great music, and the finest whisky Scotland has to offer all under one roof.
