5 Reasons You Should Visit The English Whisky Festival Every November we trek to Birmingham for The English Whisky Festival. Here’s why we love it.

Our new series covering festivals that deliver quality year after year is here.

First up is The English Whisky Festival

Lowcountry Review This hidden gem of London’s cocktail scene is an American whiskey paradise.

Low Country is now our favourite Whisk(e)y Bar in London. Find out why.

Glen Dochus Royale Review Glen Dochus is the worst no-alcohol alternative we’ve ever tasted. But at least the bottle’s pretty, right?

Doing Dry January? Avoid this whisky alternative at all costs!

RumFest UK Review It may be small and no-frills but this is the world’s longest running rum festival for a reason.

Earlier in the year we had a rum-filled Sunday at Rumfest UK and left very impressed with this small festival.

The Whisky Show London 2025 Review The UK’s biggest whisky festival finally gets the All But Drams deep dive.

Our longest ever review for the biggest whisky festival in the UK.

Join us for a deep dive into The Whisky Show.

Spittoons: A Drinks Festival Guide We finally break down the fine art of spitting your drink out.

Today on All But Drams we discuss the fine art of spitting your whisky out.

Myrkl Review: Does it Work? Is this the ultimate whisky festival companion or just a waste of money?

You can expect a spate of festival reviews from us soon but first we tackle the hangover remedies that many of your favourite whisky creators are pushing.

Our independent and unsponsored thoughts below.

Three Spirit Nightcap Review A no-alcohol alternative that’s good enough to drink neat? We put Three Spirit’s Nightcap to the test.

With festival season quietening down for summer, we've taken a look at a non-alcoholic whisky alternative that's perfect for summer cocktails.

One Year of All But Drams Thank you for all your support!

Saturday Bottle Share with British Bourbon Society.

Wonder how it compares to the Boutique-y Invergordon 13 as that was delicious.

Bargain alert!

Some evening whiskies this weekend at 3 Greek Street and Dram Bar. Both remain lovely places to enjoy a whisky in London, although you'll be paying London prices.

The Whisky Event 2025 Review Rare whiskies and great food await in a fresh new venue.

The Whisky Event 2025 review is here.

Same great show in an even better venue.

Earlier this month we visited The Whisky event, a brilliant festival in a brand new location.

I think most will agree this is a top tier show but how does it compare with last year and all it's London competitors? Find out in our review coming soon!

The Whisky Exchange: Welcome To Whisky Review This entry-level festival is perfect for whisky beginners, but what about enthusiasts?

We checked out London's newest whisky festival.

The Whisky Event 2024 Review A lavish yet relaxed atmosphere with a wide selection of whiskies. Despite minor inconveniences, it’s a show worth your time.

This weekend we'll be at The Whisky Event to see if the new venue has smoothed out the few criticisms we had from 2024.

Whisky Live London 2025 Review This festival’s 25th anniversary is beset by the same problems as last year, and some new ones too.

There was no shortage of good whisky (and other spirits) at Whisky Live London.

However, this venerable old show is fraught with problems and isn't doing enough to stand out against local competition.

Croydon Whisky Festival 2025 Review Does our favourite festival of 2024 still have that whisky magic?

Our review of @croydonwhisky.bsky.social is now live. How did our favourite show of 2024 measure up this year?

Another high quality drinks event from the Whisky Exchange team. What separates this beginner focused event from the pack? Find out in our review next month.

Our full review of Whisky Live London will be out next month. For now, here's some shots of the day.

The Whisky Exchange Cognac Show Review The Cognac Show is a unquestionably a quality show, but is it enough to get whisky fans to try something new?

The Whisky Exchange Cognac Show was a fab experience and I'm looking forward to trying many more. Read the full review today.

Whisky Birmingham 2025 Review We visit what might be England’s fastest selling whisky festival to see what the fuss is all about.

Our third Birmingham review sees us visiting the last of the "big three" whisky festivals in the city: Whisky Birmingham.

Some shots from this weekend's @croydonwhisky.bsky.social festival!

Capital Whisky Club tasting with Glenfarclas.

A little video from Whisky Birmingham! I survived the canals!
