Show manager Andrew Milne is excited to be bringing The Whisky Show to Glasgow: “It’s always been our desire to run a show that showcases old and rare whisky in an approachable and affordable way to both connoisseurs and whisky lovers who would never normally get a chance to ever taste whiskies like this.
"It feels like a natural step to hold such an event in whisky’s homeland where they were created. There is something magical about trying whiskies that most of us will never be able to buy.”
The Whisky Show: Old & Rare is the brainchild of The Whisky Exchange, and whisky experts Angus MacRaild and Jonny McMillan.
As whisky fans themselves, the team is passionate about old and rare whiskies and this event is a chance to share these legendary drams with a much wider audience of whisky lovers from around the world.
The pair say that while it remains a debated issue as to whether old & rare whiskies are better than modern ones, that it can’t be denied that they are different.
Angus believes attendees will have fun exploring these contrasts: "Whiskies distilled and bottled several decades ago display a different character to modern whiskies because the methods of production - and often the ingredients used - were notably different to today's whisky making practices.
"These kinds of old and rare bottlings represent what is popularly termed 'old style' whisky. For enthusiasts these bottlings are more characterful and display more personality and individuality than their modern counterparts.
"For drinkers and collectors alike these bottlings represent liquid time capsules, drinkable history that offers a window onto the past; how whisky used to be produced and the character of the people that made these whiskies. The Whisky Show Old & Rare offers attendees an unparalleled opportunity to try these incredible spirits in the company of like-minded enthusiasts and world class experts on old and rare whiskies. "
International whisky blogger Anne-Sophie Bigot, who is based in France but has already booked her flight tickets said: "It really is a one-of-a-kind occasion for whisky enthusiasts to come and taste some rarities, meet fellow malt heads as I like to call them and simply have a good time.
"From a blogger perspective, it is highly interesting, especially for me, as I grew up in the 1990s and never had the opportunity to be introduced to whisky through those old expressions, I see my attendance almost as a 'professional duty/history course', and I have no doubt my readers will be as excited as I am."
