Scottish Rum Festival to take place in Glasgow – what you need to know

Glasgow is set to play host to this year’s Scottish Rum Festival.

The popular event, which will be held at SWG3 on September 7, debuted last year and aims to celebrate Scotland’s vibrant rum scene.

Scheduled to take place on the first weekend of the Scottish Food & Drink Fortnight, there will be two sessions, with the first running from 12pm to 3.30pm, and the second from 4.30pm to 8pm.

With everything from established distilleries to innovative new producers presenting their offerings, festival-goers will be spoilt for choice.

There will be a meet-the-maker experience, a branded Glencairn tasting glass, and samples from each of the rum producers in attendance.

Although early bird tickets for the festival have already sold out, regular tickets are still available for purchase.

Jasmine Wheelhouse, organiser of the Scottish Rum Festival, said: “We are delighted to bring The Scottish Rum Festival back for its second year, this time in the vibrant city of Glasgow.

“Following the success of our inaugural event, we are excited to once again showcase Scotland’s rich rum heritage and the incredible producers on the Scottish rum map.

“With an array of fantastic producers, interactive masterclasses, and of course, plenty of rum, this year’s festival promises to be even bigger and better than before.”
