Yes there is poor communications from the Glasgow Whisky Festival about what whisky will be available on the day. The website has stated that "Full details will be added shortly..." for quite some time but they havent revealed any details at all.

This is the first i have heard of this, should be as good as the normal Glasgow Whisky Festival i would think. The ticket price is creeping up though.

I am heading to Glasgow and hoping to get a ticket at the door, if not i will be doing a days shopping. But there are usually returned tickets and people selling unwanted tickets at the door.

Anyone heading to this today may enjoy popping in to Prince's Square at the bottom of Buchanan Street if they have some spare time for a taste of Glasgow culture at the Auchentoshan Whisky Lounge.

The "Auchentoshan Whisky Lounge" will give people the chance to enjoy 3 days of single malt tastings including Auchentoshan Classic, Three Wood and 12 year old whilst viewing striking images from Scotland's music and film industry.

The Auchentoshan Whisky Lounge will run 16th to 18th May (11am - 8pm)

Just home an enjoyable day, a good selection of whisky but not great, hard to find something new to myself. Adelphi and Douglas Laing stalls were the most interesting.

Had a good day also, enjoyed the Glengoyne 25 and a Adelphe Clynelish 1990 23 year old.

A good day. Just an observation, i wonder why Chivas Brothers and all there whisky brands rarely appear at these things
