Another unforgettable Midlands Wh**ky Festival in the books! 🥃

What a way to celebrate 10 years of Midlands Wh**ky Festival in Birmingham! With almost 400 whiskies and rums to discover, more than 65 producers, incredible Dream Drams, masterclasses, seminars, cocktails and plenty of amazing food, there was certainly no shortage of things to enjoy!

A massive thank you to all of our exhibitors, hosts, food vendors and everyone behind the scenes who helped bring the festival together, and, most importantly, to every single person who bought a ticket, shared a dram and brought such an incredible atmosphere across the weekend. After months of planning, it’s always amazing to finally see it all come together.

For now, the team will be enjoying a very well-earned dram (or two!) before we start planning MWF27… 👀

Until next year, slàinte! 🍻
