Aberdeen Whisky Festival

Can't believe I forgot to blog about this event! It happened on the 19th of April!

The Aberdeen Whisky Festival is only in its second year is organised by the Aberdeen University Malt Whisky Society which was voted the best society last year. The first Whisky festival was also voted the best event of the year and this year the event is event bigger as it is held in the Elphinestone Hall which is very grand and spacious.

First to show you what a normal whisky session on Wednesday fortnightly is like:

The different types of whisky you can try for 3 quid for 4 drams. Extremely cheap for good whisky~

The area where we have our whisky session. In a student association building in school where this section usually sells secondhand books and also hosts events like this and others.

And we have to buy our tickets before hand as they are really popular especially among exchange students.

The festival ticket is for 8 quid for students which gives you 12 tokens which can be exchange for a dram of whisky. Some better older whiskys require 2 or 3 (a 30 yro whisky which was really flavourful) tokens but most were for 1 tokens. So....it meant i probably drank 8 or 9 whiskys that day which is double what i usually drink in a single session. And there were so many varieties from all the whisky distilleries all over Scotland! Wooo! Felt really woozy afterwards but at least it was whisky not some cheap lousy alcohol. Strengthens your body haha! 强身健体~

Whisky tasting glass all ready for the festival to begin!

And this is Elphinestone Hall!

Which got so crowded later on that people inside had to leave to let more people in! Most popular event in UoA!

Acidentally photobomb this group haha!

They sell whisky cider actually which was really good as well as the handblown whisky glass decanters which I bought one!

Free chips and oatcakes to eat with whisky so that you won't feel too nauseous!

Really awesome event that showcase the national drink of Scotland. Well done!
