Step right up, step right up as Aberdeen’s Biggest Craft Spirit Festival – complete with Gin, Rum, Vodka, Cocktails & more – lands at P&J Live on 25th & 26th August 2023 creating the ultimate ‘craft spirit’ showcase.

Watch with wonder and amazement as we unite up to 50 craft distillers under one roof, each with their own individual stalls, and let you enjoy unlimited tasting samples from each as you work the room on the hunt to find a new favourite. You’ll soak up not only fabulously produced spirits in the process, but also their backstories, distillation knowledge and know-how in order to enrich your craft spirit adventure with us. From the classically produced, to the fruity, and frankly weird and wonderful, no stone will be left unturned.

Beyond the huge selection of exhibiting craft distillers (one of the largest gatherings in the UK to be exact), you’ll be able to enjoy full size drinks and exclusive artisan cocktails from the distillers themselves, discover exclusive releases behind our range of bars, and join and participate in immersive workshops and masterclasses lead by industry experts.

We promise you an epic day craft spirit filled day, unlike any other spirit festival in the country, with entertainment and surprises to boot!
