Festival in Numbers Each day of the festival was visited by an average of 1,500 guests. In total, we prepared 65 stands where visitors could taste spirits from 85 producers. There were 28 brand representatives on site who personally talked about their distilleries, production techniques, and the history behind each bottle. The tasting offer included 900 different spirits, with as many as 350 items available for tasting included in the ticket price. We also distributed 100 mystery boxes containing festival merchandise. Whisky and Its Friends – What Happened at the Stands The festival once again showed that whisky is just the beginning. It was accompanied by a wide circle of "friends" – noble spirits from around the world and cigars. The 10th edition brought several exceptional premieres. For the first time at the festival, we presented the full Morrison Scotch Whisky portfolio, including Old Perth, Mac-Talla, Carn Mor, and Aberargie. Gordon & MacPhail spirits, one of the most respected independent bottlers in the world, also had their Polish premiere. Japanese Etsu gins also appeared at the festival for the first time. Table Football Tournament with Cutty Sark Brand This year's edition also brought sporting competition. Together with the Cutty Sark brand, we organized a table football tournament, which turned out to be one of the festival's liveliest attractions. Winners received bottles of this legendary Scottish whisky. 16 Masterclass Sessions – Intimate Tastings This year's edition brought a record 16 masterclass sessions. Experts, brand ambassadors, and distillery representatives shared knowledge about production regions, distillation techniques, cask finishes, and the art of tasting. As many as 8 of the 16 masterclasses took place on a barge sailing on the Vistula River – this is one of those elements that distinguishes our festival and creates a unique setting for tastings. The view of the capital from the river's perspective, a glass of exceptional spirit in hand, and an expert's story about its history. This is an experience that cannot be replicated in any other format. Cocktail Zone with Tanduay Brand For fans of lighter forms of tasting, the cocktail zone with the Tanduay brand prepared three signature cocktails. During the event, we served hundreds of them – proof that whisky and its friends work equally well in both classic and modern bartending interpretations. Three Cigar Zones The presence of cigar zones is a permanent element of our festival. This year we prepared as many as three – a classic one with the full M&P Pavlina portfolio, an additional VIP space with a unique selection of limited editions, and, according to tradition, the Pavlina Cigar Garden outside. Over 1,000 cigars reached the hands of cigar enthusiasts, and more than 150 were smoked in the cigar zones alone, creating a great atmosphere and a truly festive ambiance. Location by the Vistula River The Tides by the Vistula once again proved to be the ideal venue for a festival of this scale. Spacious interiors, atmospheric surroundings, and proximity to the river created an atmosphere where it was easy to get lost among flavors and conversations.
