WHISKY LIVE is Melbourne's premiere whisky sampling event, showcasing high-quality whiskies to discover and taste. All styles of whisky will be on show. Explore the different brands and styles of whisky in the market - Scotch, Irish, Australian, Japanese, peated, non-peated, sherry cask aged and more.

There will be short classes during each session, presented by distillers and ambassadors to give an in-depth understanding and sample a special whisky that's not on tasting in the main event. If you are new to whisky, be sure to attend our first class which gives a good introduction to whisky. Classes run for about 15 minutes and are free to attend.

An important part of Whisky Live is the buffet of food to graze while you are tasting. This can refresh your palate and help reduce the effects of alcohol.

Here's what's included with your Whisky Live ticket:

• A great array of top-shelf whiskies from old and new distilleries across the world.

• An assortment of hot and cold food to graze while tasting whiskies.

• A quality whisky glass to use and keep.

• A printed Tasting Guide profiling the whiskies open for sampling.

• Multiple classes during your session, focusing on specialty whiskies.

• A friendly environment with like minded people. Dress: Smart casual

Whisky Live is an event for adults 18 and older.

WHISKY LIVE is suitable for both the whisky novice and those already well into whisky. We present whiskies by brand, with an expert there to help discover, educate, and offer a sample. A quality Whisky Live spirits glass is yours to use at the event and keep for home whisky enjoyment. A printed Tasting Guide profiling the whiskies on tasting will help you select which whiskies to sample. We email a digital version of the Tasting Guide one week prior so you can pre-plan your tasting order.

Classes will be held during your session. They will focus on special aspects of particular whiskies. There's no need to book ahead, the classes will be announced during your session and are free to attend, so keep an ear out for the announcements.
