Milan Whisky Festival celebrates Scotch in Italy

Milan’s whisky festival is taking place this weekend, and while locally it would be more appropriate to try some Italian grappa, the whisky festival affords a nice opportunity to taste some of the world’s prize whiskies in the lovely city of Milan.

The whisky festival is open on Saturday from 2pm to 7:30pm and Sunday from 11am to 7pm.

It costs seven euros, which includes the free tasting glass.
The festival includes guided tastings, including the opportunity to taste a unique 1996 single barrell whisky from the Springbank Distellery.

The event also includes workshops, seminars and a trade fair involving over 40 exhibitors.
More than 70 distilleries will be at the Milan Whisky Festival, and collectors will also be there so you can get a closer look at their prized whisky and memorabilia collections, and possibly find a few missing pieces for your own collection.

For more details, including exhibitors, times and ticketing, see the Milano Whisky Festival site.
Remember to eat something, because unlike a wine tasting in Italy, you won’t go unpunished for your excesses here!
