The Victoria Whisky Festival 2024
Notably, the Victoria Whisky Festival has a history of selling out of tickets. So, whisky enthusiasts are encouraged to get them as early as possible. A diverse range of ticket options will ensure accessibility for a broader audience at the 2024 festival including additional masterclasses and grand tastings.
One of the great features of the 2024 festival is its focus on new distillers and people. Its whisky tastings and masterclasses highlight established distilleries and introduce newcomers to the industry. The festival also reflects the diversity of whisky enthusiasts by featuring more women and younger people.
“The Festival lineup is reflective of what people are interested in. Popular distilleries with long histories are in attendance beside brand-new distilleries that are trying new things,” said Frank Hudson, festival president and co-organizer.
“We have a number of independent bottlers in attendance who will be showcasing unique and often limited whiskies. Whisky is very personal, and the Festival is where people can explore something new and different.”
The festival will focus primarily on three events.
- The Lost Distillery Grand Tasting: This is a special display of Scottish whiskies selected from at least one hundred years ago. Visitors can get a unique taste of these aged expressions.
- “The Great Whisky Debate”: This is the second hosting of the flavor war. A contested head-to-head tasting of whiskies from Canada, Scotland and the United States
- Rare whisky showcase and limited editions will be available to visitors at special prices.
