The whisky festival dedicated to showcasing the best of Australian whisky returns to Melbourne for its second year in late March, tripling its size to showcase more than 100 different whiskies from 30 different whisky bottlers and distillers.
Held in partnership with the Australian Distillers Association, The Australian Whisky Show sold out last year with Amber Lane Distillery, Archie Rose Distilling Co, Cape Byron Distillery, Coastal Stone Whisky, Hellyers Road Distillery, Hobart Whisky, Morris Whisky, Overeem Whisky and Spring Bay Distillery just a few of the 30 distilleries confirmed to attend.
Not only will there be plenty of incredible Australian whisky to taste, but guests can also engage directly with the distillers to learn about how they craft their whiskies and what gives each expression its unique flavour.
David Ligoff, founder of The Whisky Show explains, “We’ve brought it back again this year, bigger than before, with increased capacity and more distilleries exhibiting. With even more whiskies to try, it’s a real celebration of the innovation and diversity of Australian whisky.”
The Australian Whisky Show is held in partnership with the Australian Distillers Association which is hosting its annual trade conference at the same time.
Paul McLeay, Australian Distillers Chief Executive says “The success of last year's Australian Whisky Show reflects how much the industry has matured in the last few years. The calibre of whiskies on taste was world class, and demand for locally distilled product has grown so much that we have had to triple the event’s capacity this year.
“The Australian whisky terroir produces unique and diverse flavours, and the show is a wonderful opportunity to experience and truly appreciate the distinct flavour profiles produced by distilleries from all over the nation.”
