Whisky sampling down by the riverside in Inverness this June

Eden Court in Inverness

Riverside cultural hub Eden Court will host the return of the Scottish National Whisky Festival to Inverness on Saturday 29 June, following its successful visit to the Highlands city in 2023.

This year’s edition will give festival-goers the opportunity to sample hundreds of whiskies from world-renowned distilleries and independent bottlers; explore guest spirits and experimental flavours across the exhibitor line up; and indulge in cocktails from world class mixologists at bespoke pop-up bars.

The Festival will also feature a specially-curated bill of live music and seminars from Scottish performers, speakers and industry experts across each session, handpicked to reflect the ‘energy and identity’ of the host city.

There will also be an on-site whisky shop with a selection of bottles to take home, including festival exclusive bottlings, courtesy of the Scottish National Whisky Festival’s partner retailers Woodwinters.

Festival co-ordinator, Gareth Croll, said: “We can’t wait to hit the road again this year and bring the Scottish National Whisky Festival to Inverness, one of our favourite parts of the country.

“As always, we are excited to partner with some of Scotland’s most celebrated distillers, bottlers, bars and artists to create an unforgettable celebration of Scottish culture today.

“This year we’ve gone all out and promise to deliver our biggest festival series to date – do not miss it, see you there!”
