After last year’s wildly successful debut, The Australian Whisky Show has returned for a second round of great sipping and great company. The action goes down at Melbourne’s Pullman Hotel on 25 March 2023 and puts over 30 of Australia’s most exciting distilleries in one place. Ticket holders will receive a complimentary tasting glass (and other goodies) upon entry and then embark on four hours of unlimited whisky sampling. The show will also feature a rare whisky bar, pop-up bottle shop, ample food options, live music, and more. It all makes up part of a broader Whisky Show festival, with stops in seven of the nation’s capital cities in 2023 (see schedule below).

As noted in our comprehensive whisky guide, the modern era of Australian whisky distilling kicked off around 30 years ago and has only evolved in the time since, maturing like a fine single malt. It’s now more robust and exciting than ever before, making this year’s event in Melbourne a must-stop destination for whisky lovers of all passions and backgrounds. The show breaks down into two respective 4-hour sessions—12 noon to 4PM and 5PM to 9PM—and puts a slew of quality samples at your lips and fingertips.
Brush up your knowledge one sip at a time as you try the latest and greatest releases from established distilleries and lesser-known ones alike. There are also over 100 different Aussie single malt whiskies available for purchase at the pop-up bottle shop.

The Whisky Show founder David Ligoff said the following, “The event was a sell-out success in 2022, so we’ve brought it back again this year, bigger than before, with increased capacity and more distilleries exhibiting. With even more whiskies to try, it’s a real celebration of the innovation and diversity of Australian whisky.”
