Edinburgh's Whisky Festival 2023 will be delivered through the organiser's unique strands of Whisky, Heritage and Wellness.
The Whisky strand celebrates Scotland's national drink through the attendance of the best distilleries, independent bottlers and other whisky related exhibitors from across Scotland and beyond.
The Heritage strand focusses on bringing the history of whisky production back to life through an exhibition as well as live, interactive coopering demonstrations allowing attendees to get involved in building a barrel.
As part of the Wellness strand, Edinburgh's Whisky Festival we will be partnering with the inspirational My Name'5 Doddie Foundation to help raise awareness of the incurable condition, MND and raise funds for the charity.
The festival runs over two 3.5hr our sessions. We are delighted to be delivering this event in partnership with Bevvy.com. As the ultimate digital companion for whisky lovers, we are excited to be harnessing the technology of the Bevvy app to further enhance the festival experience for all attendees.

With over 45 exhibitors in attendance, Director Serena Lindsay said:
"We are extremely excited to welcome ticket holders to Murrayfield for Edinburgh's Whisky Festival on Saturday 14th October. We have a passion not only for whisky as our national drink, but for the journey and stories of where it has originated and want to deliver an event that allows people to immerse themselves in all aspects of the whisky industry.
A key aspect of our festival approach is our desire to support a charitable cause, and there are none more critical currently than the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.
Co-founder of Bevvy.com, Laurie Black said:
"Having previously partnered with Slanj Events for the hugely popular Clackmannanshire's Whisky Festival, we are thrilled to be working with them again to deliver an incredible experience for all attendees in what we feel is a perfect venue: Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh.
Our mission has always been to make whisky more welcoming and engaging, and the technology that we have incorporated into our app makes it the perfect festival guide and the perfect way to explore and navigate the world of whisky. Edinburgh's Whisky Festival gives us not only a chance to modernise the whisky festival experience, but is a welcome opportunity to share drams with friends old and new!"
My Name's Doddie Foundation ambassador and former Scotland international, Kenny Logan, said:
"My Name's Doddie Foundation are delighted to partnering with Edinburgh's Whisky Festival in October and over the coming years to provide a platform to both raise awareness and funds for the incurable disease. The event is a great fit for the foundation and I know Doddie himself would have loved to have socialised at an event like this, particularly at Murrayfield - He loved his whisky"
