Now in its seventh year, the festival moved to Scotland's national football stadium following the closure of the Arches in 2015.
With fifty-two stands showcasing whiskies from all over Scotland and the rest of the world, as well as some of the world’s best rums, gins and liqueurs, organisers say it was their biggest event yet.
The festival, which aims to put Glasgow on the whisky map with an emphasis on Glasgow’s closest distilleries and the independent bottlers that belong to this great city, was organised by Mark Connelly, owner of Swally Shirts and Whisky Whisky Whisky; Julie Hamilton, founding member and secretary of Glasgow’s Whisky Club; and Paul McDonagh, owner of the world famous whisky bar, the Bon Accord.
