Good to see it back and hopefully improved. I see they havent posted a list of exibitors, so maybe not improved, that remains to be seen.

[Crane]

I am surprised to see this, i didnt think it was happening this year. I dont think i would be buying a ticket until i saw the line up of whisky that is going to be their.

[Craven]

Well i am pleased to see it back again this year as it gives me a good excuse for a weekend in Glasgow. Just hope the the whisky companies turtn out for it.

[Mark]

I think i will be waiting to see who the exibitors are before booking a ticket, hopefully it will be a decent turnout.

I was just looking at the Whisky Live Glasgow site and it is a very small list of exibitors, i think i will be giving it a miss. Looks like the Glasgow Whisky Festival is the whisky event in Glasgow now.

[JAB]

yes i think i will be giving this a miss also and goin to the glasgow whisky festival instead.
like calder said there are alot more exibitors (33+) and the tickets are cheaper also at £15

[DramBuster]

I'm giving it a miss. It's too expensive, the focus is less about whisky than self-promotion and all the independents I want to try will be at Glasgow's Whisky Festival. That's the one for me.

[Innes]

I was thinking of heading up to Glasgow for this but it doesnt look worth it. Unfortunately i cant make it to the new Glasgow whisky festival but it does look very good, hopefully they do it again next year.

[Kenny M]

It is a dam shame but the cost to go to this event and what is going to be their does not add up. The new Glasgow Whisky Festival looks like it will take over from whisky live.

[Mark]

So did anyone go to this
Was it any good whisky wise

[Andy M]

couldnt tell you Mark i gave it a miss.

[Keith]

I was their, it was a good day, ok nowhere near as many exibitors as you see at Edinburghs whisky fest or for that matter Robbies Drams event in Ayr and i would guess they sold less than half the tickets. Many exibitors and whisky drinkers seem to be avoiding this now such a pity but whisky live needs to sort it out as you expect more for the ticket price.

Hardly a peep about this online at all. I got a couple of free passes, as did many it seems, and actually went along for a look. There's a mention of it here:
