Ticket sales are going well and suppliers are queuing up for our 2nd Whisky Festival. This year it is to be held at Easterbrook Hall, a spacious venue on the outskirts of the town in the beautiful Crichton estate on Saturday 24th November from 12 noon until 4.30pm. There will be around 150 whiskies on display for sampling as well as a Master Class of Bruichladdich whiskies(tickets available separately here for this priced at £15 each). Food, soft drinks, tea and coffee will be available to purchase on the day and your ticket price of £20 includes a full programme with all the whiskies listed, a dramming glass and unlimited water. A shop will be available on site for those wishing to purchase their favourite whiskies and we will holding our ‘Golden Dram’ competition once again with the most voted for whisky getting their name on the back of our carrier bags for a year as well as a crystal trophy. If you pick the winning dram, your name goes into the hat for a free draw to win a voucher worth £25!

 

There will also be a free raffle on the day with three top quality prizes. Last year, our lucky top winner received a day at Glenfarclas Distillery, including a premium tasting and dinner at the distillery. All you need to do to win is to pop your name on the back of your ticket and drop it into the raffle box!
