The United Nations of Whisky

Sweden, India and France — not the top three countries you'd necessarily associate with whisky, and yet whisky they'll all be showing and telling, at a 300-bottle strong festival, which of course also includes all the Islay and Speyside distillers you'd expect. Entry to Midlands Whisky Festival is £40 and gets you a tasting glass, samples of hundreds of whiskies available across 60 exhibitors' stands. You'll also get access to expert talks, food pairings and cocktails, plus a dream dram token. Exchangeable for a taste of a proper pricey drop, a number of the super premium range are worth over £1000 per bottle. On September 15 from 12pm, at The Studio on Canon Street. Tickets right here
