Sydney Whisky Month
The Whisky List, Australia’s largest online retailer dedicated to whisky, has announced the details of its first ever Sydney Whisky Month, building upon previous Sydney Whisky Week iterations.
The festival will officially begin on World Whisky Day this Saturday 18 May with the already sold out The Whisky Show Sydney. The Show will provide 1000+ attendees with the chance to sample from a range of 145 international whiskies across 35 exhibiting brands. The event will also feature live music, food trucks, a pop-up bottle shop, and an exclusive rare-whisky bar.
Other featured events include the Glen Moray Week from 20-25 May, the Stauning Week from 28 May to 2 June, and the Angel’s Envy Week from 4-8 June.
“We’ve brought together Sydney’s best whisky bars, whisky brands and The Whisky Show this year for a month of epic whisky tastings and events,” said Oliver Maruda, The Whisky List’s Co-Founder.
"Something for everyone to try, regardless of whether you're new to whisky or a seasoned whisky lover.”
