Edinburgh Whisky Week 2026

Edinburgh, 3th to 13th September. Twenty of the city's best whisky bars, ten days, two weekends and dozens of festival priced drams? Yes Please!

Edinburgh's whisky bars are among the best in the world and Whisky Week gives them the stage they deserve. For ten days this September the capital becomes a walkable distillery tour with every participating venue turned into the home of a single celebrated distillery or brand. One wristband opens all of them: show it, order from that bar's Whisky Week menu, many drams are just £5 or less.

The pairings: Athletic Arms (Diggers) with Woodrow's of Edinburgh. The Abbey Whisky Bar with Caol Ila. The Black Cat with Kilchoman. Teuchters Bar & Bunker with Isle of Raasay. Teuchters Landing with Kingsbarns. The Abbotsford with Rare Find. Albanach with Glengoyne. Blue Blazer with Ardnamurchan. Bennets Bar with Whisky Heroes. Windsor Bar with Cask Masters. The Royal Dick with Melrose Drover. The Bowlers Rest with Fragrant Drops. Cask & Vine with Whisky Craft. Port of Leith Distillery with Leith Bond. Plus Whiski Bar, Whiski Rooms, Copper Still, The Palmerston, The Fort of Leith and Ibis Styles St Andrew Square.

Every ticket includes our printed pocket guidebook with venue map, the full list of drams across the city and space to record what you thought of each one.

First dram or twenty, there's no wrong way to do it. One night or all ten days, entirely at your own pace.
