4 hours doesnt make a festival. By the time you get in the door it could all be a bit rushed.

I got the Robbies Drams newsletter yesterday saying that Whisky an a that was bigger and better than ever, it didnt mention it was shorter than ever Laughing

Cutting it by 1 hour will make things a bit rushed when you consider the time it can take to get in when the doors open and also stalls tend to start to pack up 30 mins before the end.

If you are thinking of going the email did say ticket are selling fast

I bought two tickets to Whisky An' A' That 2012, but my friend is unable to go due to work commitments. So I am selling the tickets for Â£12 each (face value is Â£20 per ticket). Please see the link below if interested.

Does anyone have a link to the page on Robbies Drams website with a list of exibitors for Saturday as i cant seem to find it and i like to see who will be there so i can plan which stalls i want to visit.

I believe it is supposed to be 30 plus exibitors but there is no info on the Robbies Drams website that i can find which is pretty poor as i would have liked to have seen the final line up.

Just about to set off to go to this, quite annoying that there is no list of exibitors on the Robbies Drams site in fact i cant find any mention of it at all Confused

I enjoyed the day in Ayr, very warm in Ayr town hall could do with some air con or fans.

Very much enjoyed the Springbank Rundlets & Kilderkins which i tried for the first time, definitely adding a bottle to my next order

This was my first ever whisky event and I have to say it was superb. Brilliant atmosphere and excellent crowd. Made my way over from Belfast to enjoy the day and was not disappointed. Also took part in the tasting masterclass, which for myself as a beginner, was highly educational. Definitely be back next year and keeping my eyes open for other events.
