Whisky lovers, mark your calendars!

Whisky Live Singapore, the region's largest whisky and fine spirits tasting show, is holding its 12th edition this year, scheduled for the 18th and 19th of November, 2023.

Attendees have the opportunity to sample (on a complimentary basis) a wide array of whiskies from a wide range of different brands, attend masterclasses, participate in tastings, and engage with brand ambassadors and distillers. This event is an absolute must for those who enjoy tasting  great spirits and are keen to try all the latest releases of whiskies, rums, gins, mezcals, Cognacs, Armagnacs, and more.

This year's event would be hosted by the prominent Singapore Flyer and will present attendees with a striking view of the Marina Bay Sands and Esplanade skyline. It is here where you can connect with your favourite brands, sample new releases spanning from whiskies to rums, gins, mezcals, and even cognacs and armagnacs.

But it's not all about sipping spirits!

Unveiled for the first time is the Cocktail & Food Street, a non-ticketed entry area for visitors and the general public. Inspired by Whisky Live Paris, globally recognized bartenders will present their brand-special cocktails. Combined with a mix of delectable street food and upbeat music from live DJs, this corner will indeed make your visit more enjoyable.
