Whisky Week will make its highly anticipated return to the Granite City this August, offering whisky lovers the chance to enjoy exclusive drams and events across a host of popular city venues.

Running from 21–31 August 2025, the ten-day celebration will see more than ten bars, pubs and venues across Aberdeen taking part in the second annual staging of the festival.

Wristbands, which are available now for £6–£9, are required to access the programme of curated whisky tastings, tours, and limited edition pours from some of the finest producers in the business. A full list of participating venues and ticket details can be found at: https://whiskyweek.co.uk/aberdeen/

This year’s confirmed venues include:

  • St Machar Bar
  • Monty’s
  • Whisky Situation
  • Fierce Beer
  • The Firepit
  • The Albyn
  • No.10 Bar & Restaurant
  • Under the Hammer
  • The Grill
  • Aberdeen Whisky Shop

Each participating bar will offer a unique selection of drams and host exclusive events throughout the week. Though the full schedule of activities is still to be announced, organisers promise a rich mix of tastings, talks and experiences aimed at both seasoned whisky drinkers and newcomers alike.

In addition to unlocking access to venue-only drams and events, wristband holders will receive a printed guidebook and a venue map, helping attendees to plan their route and record the whiskies they sample along the way.

Whisky Week also shines a spotlight on the north-east’s long-standing connection with the whisky industry. With a heritage deeply rooted in the traditions of distilling and trading, the event aims to celebrate both the history and future of whisky in Aberdeen and beyond.

Further announcements about guest speakers, distillery showcases and tasting sessions are expected in the coming weeks.
