There’s less than a week to go until Leeds Whisky Festival 2024, taking place on Saturday (2 November) After a sellout Leeds Whisky Festival in 2023, Studio Events have gone even bigger and better for 2024. They’re really excited to be moving to a new, larger venue at The Royal Armouries Museum at Leeds Dock.
The team at Studio Events have specially selected some of the best brands and will be bringing their ambassadors, makers and creators into one room to give you insider knowledge on your favourite distilleries from across the globe.
This is the third and final festival for Studio Events after delivering the iconic Leeds Rum and Leeds Tequila festivals in July and September! They’ve also been busy running masterclasses and tastings in The Liquor Studio on Lower Briggate with a range of new and exciting masterclasses launching in November.
Featured at the festival will be over 100 different Whiskies ready to sample in your very own Whisky Fest tasting glass. Local favourites such as Yorkshire distillers Filey Bay will be returning, whilst new exhibitors such as Fielden and The Whistler will also be welcomed in this year’s lineup.
Also included in the ticket price is access to interactive masterclasses led by Whisky experts that will run throughout the event. Guests can look forward to engaging discussions from Jack Daniels, MONIN and Liquor Studio all while sampling a variety of products and gaining deeper insights into whisky creation.
An exciting addition to this year is The Speed Sour Bar where guests can try their luck at making the fastest Whisky Sour in town to win a MONIN cocktail kit with everything you need to make a batch of Whisky Sours!
Everyone’s favourite wine and liquor merchants, Latitude will be operating the Bottle Shop making sure that you can purchase your favourite spirits to take home and enjoy.
To ensure everyone is well fed there will be cheese and charcuterie available from Leeds locals the Cheesy Living Co – a match made in Whisky heaven!
Lee Jones, Head of Studio Group says;
“Whisky Fest is our biggest festival so it’s important to keep the lineup fresh and representative of the everchanging World of Whisky. It’s a great opportunity to understand the category if you’re a novice or revisit old favourites if you consider yourself an enthusiast.”
Leeds Whisky Festival takes place on Saturday 2 November 2024 at the Royal Armouries Museum.
Tickets are available now for £44.04 from Eventbrite here.
