Announcing our chosen charity for this year!

We are delighted to be fundraising for Scottish Women’s Aid as part of a wider response to women’s issues particularly within the whisky industry.

See our Charity Raffle page for more details and also announcements on our social media channels.

Thank you!

Unfortunately due to things and stuff out of our control we are unable to run our usual world-famous (in our heads) Foodbank Raffle in aid of Drumchapel Foodbank this year.

Please DO NOT BRING FOOD ITEMS on the day as we will have no way of transporting anything and we will NOT be giving out raffle tickets for any shopping that’s brought along, sorry.

We WILL be running a raffle in aid of another charity where you can still win tickets for next year but you will have to wait for details on that…😉

Please pass this info on to anyone you know who usually donates. Thank you!

That’s all folks, as they say! Both sessions are now completely sold out for 2026. Thanks once again to everyone who bought one and we’ll see you in November!

Keep an eye on our social channels for exhibitor updated coming before the big day…

Tickets for our 2026 festival go on sale on Saturday 2nd of May at 11am from Tickets Scotland in Glasgow either online or in person.

You can choose from one of two sessions (please don’t try to buy for both!)

Visit our Tickets page for the full details.

Set those alarms for next Saturday morning!

We have booked Hampden Park again for Saturday the 7th of November 2026. Pop the date in your calendars and look out for tickets announcements in the Spring. You can sign up to our mailing list in the side bar on the right to make sure you don’t miss any news or follow our social media channels.

You can now view and download our 2025 Festival Programme which contains full listings of all the bottles on show on Saturday and also prices as well as the floorplan.

Go to our Exhibitors page and you find the link at the top above all the exhibitors with links to their pages on the Royal Mile Whiskies website.

Our lanyard sponsor Decadent Drinks also has an exclusive first taste for us all this weekend:

“A New Chapter in our Decadent Story…

We’ve been working quietly on something a little different. A new creation in the Decadent family, rougher round the edges, louder in spirit, and born of Highland grit. It’s a whisky with mud on its boots and laughter in its lungs.

Born from the same obsession with flavour and storytelling that runs through everything we do, but this one’s got its own attitude. It doesn’t polish out the rough bits, it celebrates them. Loud, bright, and full of life.
Before the rest of the world sees it, it will pour for the first time at Hampden.

Seventeen years in sherrywood, built for hilltops, hip flasks, and firesides.

We’ll leave the introductions for Hampden. It deserves its moment.”

We’re looking forward to trying the brand new release from The Glasgow Distillery Co. as their Glasgow 1770 Bourbon Cask Matured has its debut at the festival!

Bottled as their oldest age statement core range product yet, this 8 year old Bourbon Cask is a marriage of their double distilled unpeated and double distilled peated whisky. By using only bourbon matured single malt, we’re expecting lots of fruity tropical notes that sit at the heart of their double distilled whisky styles.

Make sure to stop by their stands taking up the full end of the Nevis Suite!

We are delighted that once again this year we will be giving every visitor a glass lanyard with their glass, handy for freeing up both hands to write those tasty tasting notes!

This has been made possible this year by the generosity of our lanyard sponsor Decadent Drinks. If you’re new to this amazing indie bottler go and check them out and make sure to visit their stand across from our own festival shop on November the 8th!
