Scotland’s whisky scene will take centre stage from 20th August as Whisky Week returns, transforming Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh into Scotland’s largest whisky trail through a rolling programme of tastings, tours and exclusive experiences

Running until 13th September, the festival invites whisky lovers to discover Scotland’s thriving whisky culture through specially curated menus, exclusive drams and unique experiences, while celebrating the country’s world-renowned whisky bars, distilleries and producers. 

Whisky Week Dates 

• Whisky Week Aberdeen: 20th-30th August 2026 
• Whisky Week Glasgow: 27th August-6th September 2026 
• Whisky Week Edinburgh: 3rd-13th September 2026 

Unlike traditional whisky festivals, Whisky Week doesn’t take place in a single venue. Instead, visitors explore a trail of participating bars, with each one partnering with a different distillery or whisky brand to offer its own exclusive festival menu. 

Participating venues include renowned whisky destinations such as The Pot Still, Teuchters Bar, Teuchters Landing, Port of Leith Distillery, The Black Cat, The Grill, The Tippling House and Aberdeen Whisky Shop, with a packed programme of tastings, events and exclusive experiences taking place throughout the festival.  

Festival partners include Glenfiddich, Springbank, Glengoyne, Glen Moray, Kingsbarns, Kilchoman, Wemyss Malts, Caol Ila and Tamnavulin, alongside a growing line-up of independent Scotch whisky producers showcasing the diversity of Scotland’s whisky industry. 

Every participating venue will offer at least one dram for £5 or less, while Whisky Week wristband holders unlock exclusive festival menus, tastings, tours and whisky experiences throughout the festival. Tickets for Whisky Week are available now at whiskyweek.co.uk
