The Whisky Show has outlined its 2025 show itinerary, giving trade and consumers the opportunity to try a selection of Scottish, Japanese, New Zealand and Australian single malts, American whiskeys, and boutique offerings.
Across 10 shows in 2025, ticket holders will have access to show highlights including the Rare Whisky Bar with limited and rare whiskies being poured, and the show’s Pop-Up Bottle Shop.
The Whisky Show’s co-founder David Ligoff said: “We can’t believe we’ve welcomed over 50,000 whisky enthusiasts through our festival doors since 2012.
“Whilst our focus is always on showcasing the coolest and exciting new whiskies from all over the world, we have a number of new additions we’re introducing to the 2025 season, including meal vouches for all guests, new updates to the Show app, international guests and a few surprises including a straight from the cask bottling experience with a 10+ year old Tasmanian single malt.”
The American Whisky Show has been part of the calendar since 2022, when it started in Sydney offering the chance to taste some incredible Bourbons and Ryes. Melbourne was added to the American Whisky Show list last year, and this year Brisbane whisky lovers will have the chance to sample some great drops from the US.
