🥃 Day 1 at Whisky Fringe. This Lagg is the first single cask to be released outside the distillery. Listen to what distillery ambassador Fred has to say about it, and why it’s worth a place on your back bar 💚

🥃Have a listen to Eilidh talk about one of our favourite new corners of Whisky Fringe.
The Archive room will be open Friday, Saturday and Sunday so you can see the magic for yourself. 💚

🥃 Whisky comes with its fair share of myths, so we asked our buyer Sam to bust a couple of the most common. The best way to test any of this is to taste for yourself, which is exactly what Whisky Fringe is for. If you’re joining us at Mansfield Traquair this weekend, bring an open mind and a curious palate and see what you make of it. 💚

Ever wondered what Half Time is all about? 🍊🥃
It’s one of our favourite Whisky Fringe traditions. Halfway through each session, listen out for the Half Time whistle.

When it blows, swap your token (you get one with your ticket) for a special dram from the Half Time list, poured just for that moment.

Think of it as the interval, with a very good dram in hand.

Listen to what Chris has to say about the Hlaftime Tradition▶️

Not long now until Whisky Fringe, and we can’t wait to share a few drams with you.🥃
A wee reminder for the day: you don’t have to finish every dram. With so much to taste across the afternoon, take a sip, savour it. It’s all about enjoying at your own pace.✨

16 years of Whisky Fringe gives you a lot of memories to sift through. We asked Chris for the two favourite memories that have stayed with him most, and here they are⭐️

Have a watch, and whether it’s your first year or your sixteenth, Whisky Fringe has a way of staying with you. We are so excited for you to come along and make a memory or two of your own this August. 🥃

We took our Head of Trade, Stuart, aside to find out what keeps him coming back to Whisky Fringe year after year.

After 23 years, he still lights up when he talks about it. The whiskies change, the exhibitors evolve, but it’s the quiet moments either side of the event that have stayed with him all this time.
The calm before the doors open, and the sense of satisfaction once they close again.

Have a listen to what keeps him coming back 🥃✨

We pulled our spirits buyer aside to hear his two favourite Whisky Fringe memories over the years.
