Whisky Live Australia – 
Whisky Tasting Events in Australia

Whisky Live Australia is Australia’s longest-running whisky tasting event. Since 2009, Whisky Live has helped whisky lovers discover premium whiskies from Australia and across the world. It’s a large-format whisky tasting experience where you can compare styles side-by-side, meet brand ambassadors, and learn how whisky is made and matured. It’s structured to allow attendees to discover whisky at their own pace. 

Each year, Whisky Live runs whisky tasting events in multiple Australian cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, and Gold Coast. Expect a wide range of whisky brands to sample and explore, including new releases, exclusive bottlings and limited editions, plus masterclasses and a Rare & Old Bar for rare whisky pours. Whisky Live includes good food to graze on while tasting, a whisky glass and a tasting guide describing the whiskies with flavour profiles. It’s an event for both the whisky curious and the experienced connoisseur with a whisky for every taste.

Whisky Live Australia is part of the global Whisky Live family of events, with editions across Europe, Asia, the Americas and Australia, connecting whisky communities worldwide through whisky education and tasting experiences.
