The Whisky Show – now in its fifteenth year – finishes its national circuit in Adelaide on 19 September, after a run through Canberra, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane. The pull for the initiated is the show-exclusive bottlings: releases put up specifically for the event, alongside new and boutique brands making their case to an Australian room. Ticket details sit with the organiser and are worth confirming, but the pitch is consistent city to city – a lot of glasses, a few things you will not find elsewhere.
