Queensland Whisky Expo

Overview

Whisky lovers, rejoice — we've just found your next 80 drops and perhaps even more. The Queensland Whisky Expo doesn't just serve up a few drams or ten or several dozen, after all. It reaches for the 100 mark and comes mighty close.

A two-day event, the expo is split into two sessions, although both offer attendees the same thing. You'll taste as many whiskies as you can, you'll nab your own whisky glass just for that purpose, and you'll even get a free pen so that you can take notes about all of your favourites. We know, we know, free pens aren't exciting at all — but there is more than whisky on the menu, including a meal to line your stomach and chats with informative whisky experts.

It all takes place from 6–9pm on Friday, July 20 and 1–4pm on Saturday, July 21, with the expo taking over the Brisbane Club. Tickets cost $99, and prepare to leave with plenty of new varieties on your must-drink list.
