Here at The Whisky Exchange, we have always looked for new ways to share our passion for fine spirits. Over the years, this has led us to create a number of landmark events in partnership with the biggest names in the drinks business. These range in size from our annual Whisky Show which draws crowds of thousands over three days, to intimate masterclasses with our favourite producers from across the world.

On this page you will find everything you need to know about our award-winning annual shows and monthly programme of tastings and in-store events. Whatever your drink of choice, we pride ourselves on offering educational and informative experiences to suit your tastes.
