WHERE WHISKY MEETS RUM.....
The 18th edition of the Whisky & Rum festival will take place in IJmuiden on Saturday the 12th of October 2024. For 17 years in a row, whisky and rum lovers have been meeting at this very diverse festival.
Everything revolves around experience, smell and taste at this 18th edition. More than 40 exhibitors will enthusiastically introduce you to more than 600 types of rum, bourbon and whiskey from all over the world. Taste the sultry atmospheres of rum from the Caribbean and South America in tropical cocktails or just plain! Imagine yourself after a glass of single malt whiskey in the overwhelming Scottish Highlands and Islay. Ireland will also be well represented because Irish whiskey is booming! We also offer distilling workshops to experience what it is like to distill your own spiced rum. Of course, the masterclasses with guests from home and abroad are not lacking. To experience the versatility of whisky and rum, we have also invited renowned Dutch cocktail bars that prepare the most delicious cocktails for you on site!
Inextricably linked with a good glass of whisky or rum is finger licking good finger food from the Caribbean/Scottish cuisine, freshly prepared by the top chefs of the Leonardo Hotel. If you are not a 'pure' drinker, then the tropical cocktails will suit you, freshly prepared and live while enjoying live music!
Prior to the festival, a number of cocktail , rum and whisky masterclasses will take place with guests from home and abroad so that you don't miss anything during the afternoon or evening session. The program will be announced in the coming months. This 17th edition promises to be another day full of taste experiences, conviviality, experience, delicious food and drinks . We look forward to welcoming you to Whisky & Rum aan Zee Fest 2023!
