THE Wee County's very own whisky festival is set to be exported to Murrayfield.
Slanj Events, the team behind the successful Clackmannanshire's Whisky Festival, will be bringing a taste of Clacks to Edinburgh with an event at BT Murrayfield Stadium later in October.
Much like the event which went ahead at Alloa Town Hall in April, Edinburgh's Whisky Festival will be incorporating all three strands of their philosophy into the event with themes of whisky, heritage and wellness.
There will be some 45 exhibitors in attendance when the event goes ahead on Saturday, October 14.
Event director Serena Lindsay said: “Our unique approach to festival delivery in terms of whisky, heritage and wellness really struck a chord with people in Clackmannanshire and EWF promises to be even better.
“We have a passion not only for whisky as a drink, but for the journey and stories of where it has originated.
“We want to deliver an event that allows people to immerse themselves in all aspects of the whisky industry.

“A key aspect of our festivals, through our wellbeing strand, is our desire to support a charitable cause, and there are none more critical currently than the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation.
“EWF will be partnering with My Name'5 Doddie Foundation to provide a platform to both raise awareness and funds for the charity.”
The festival by the Clacks events company will be delivered in partnership with sponsor bevvy.com.
Its co-founder Laurie Black said: “Having previously partnered with Slanj Events for the hugely popular Clackmannanshire's Whisky Festival, we are thrilled to be working with them again to deliver an incredible experience for all attendees in what we feel is a perfect venue: BT Murrayfield in Edinburgh.
“Our mission has always been to make whisky more welcoming and engaging, and the technology that we have incorporated into our app makes it the perfect festival guide and the perfect way to explore and navigate the world of whisky.
“Edinburgh's Whisky Festival gives us not only a chance to modernise the whisky festival experience, but is a welcome opportunity to share drams with friends old and new."
