Slanj Events Organiser, Serena Lindsay said: “We are now into our third festival in Edinburgh and organically growing bigger and better than ever. We are extremely excited to welcome ticket holders and exhibitors back to Murrayfield Stadium on the 11th October. We have a passion not only for whisky as our national drink, but for the journey and stories of where it has originated and want to deliver an event that allows people to immerse themselves in all aspects of the whisky industry.
A key aspect of our festival approach is our desire to support our charity partner My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. My Name's Doddie Foundation ambassador and former Scotland international, Kenny Logan, said:
"My Name's Doddie Foundation are delighted to partnering with Edinburgh's Whisky Festival for a third year and over the coming years to provide a platform to both raise awareness and funds for the incurable disease. The event is a great fit for the foundation, and I know Doddie himself would have loved to have socialised at an event like this, particularly at Murrayfield - He loved his whisky”
