The festival in numbers

Each day the festival was visited by an average of 1500 guests. In total we prepared 65 stands, where you could sample beverages from 85 producers. On site there were 28 brand representatives, who personally talked about their distilleries, production techniques and the history behind every bottle.

The tasting offer included 900 different beverages, and as many as 350 items were available for tasting within the price of the ticket.

We also handed out 100 mystery boxes, which contained festival gadgets.

Whisky and its friends – what was happening at the stands

The festival once again showed that whisky is just the beginning. It was accompanied by a wide circle of "friends" – noble distillates from all over the world as well as cigars.

The 10th edition brought several exceptional premieres. For the first time at the festival we presented the full portfolio of Morrison Scotch Whisky, including Old Perth, Mac-Talla, Carn Mor and Aberargie. The Polish premiere also featured the beverages of Gordon & MacPhail, one of the most esteemed independent bottlers in the world. For the first time at the festival the Japanese gins Etsu also appeared.

Foosball tournament with the Cutty Sark brand

This year's edition also brought sporting competition. Together with the Cutty Sark brand we organised a foosball tournament, which turned out to be one of the most lively attractions of the festival. Bottles of this legendary Scotch whisky awaited the winners.

16 masterclass sessions – intimate tastings

This year's edition brought a record 16 masterclass sessions. Experts, brand ambassadors and distillery representatives shared their 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 along the Vistula – this is one of those elements that distinguishes our festival and creates a unique setting for tastings. A view of the capital from the river's perspective, a glass of an exceptional beverage in hand and an expert's tale about its history. It is an experience that cannot be repeated in any other format.

Cocktail zone with the 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 the classic version as in a modern bartending interpretation.

Three cigar zones

The presence of cigar zones is a permanent element of our festival. This year we prepared as many as three – the classic one with the full portfolio of M&P Pavlina, an additional VIP space with a unique selection of limited editions and, in keeping with tradition, the Pawlina Cigar Garden outdoors.

More than 1000 pieces reached the hands of cigar lovers, and in the cigar zones alone more than 150 of them were smoked, creating a great atmosphere and a truly festive mood.

Location on the Vistula

The Tides on the Vistula once again proved to be the perfect place for a festival of this scale. Spacious interiors, an atmospheric setting and the proximity of the river created an ambience in which it was easy to get lost among flavours and conversations.

Festival price list

Festival guests received booklets with the festival price list – with an offer prepared especially for them, as thanks for their presence. We also thought of our other customers. That is why the festival price list is available to everyone. You can take advantage of it until 16 May both online and in all M&P stores throughout Poland.
