TICKETS have gone on sale for a three day showcase of the finest food and drink in Moray and Speyside.
Distilled will return for the first time in three years next month at Elgin Town Hall.
The event is organised by the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival, one of the world’s largest whisky events.
Organisers have included an additional day to the usual two-day format due to exceptional demand.
It will take place from Friday-Sunday, September 2-4 and is expected to welcome over 1500 visitors.
Over 35 local vendors will showcase their products and ticket holders will have the chance to enjoy six different samples including those from world famous distilleries during the event.
George McNeil, chairman of the Spirit of Speyside Festivals said: “Distilled brings together the very best that Speyside has to offer. World famous distilleries, local brewers, craft gin and vodka producers and local artisan food stalls will all be under one roof, celebrating the region's impressive offering.
“Although relatively new, the event has cemented itself as a popular date in the local
calendar and after a three year break we are making the final preparations to ensure that
this year’s Distilled is bigger and better than ever."
Several masterclasses will be taking place including:
- The Glenlivet Single Cask Tasting - Chivas Brothers
- Exploring the Breadth and Depth of Connoisseurs Choice - Gordon & Macphail
- Upcoming Releases with Iain Allan, Global Brand Ambassador - Glen Moray
- Caorunn Gin Distillery Botanical Deconstructed Nosing and Tasting - Caorunn Gin
