Whisky Live Beirut Returns for Its 8th Edition: 3 Days of Tastings and Premium Spirits

If premium spirits, guided tastings, and masterclasses sound like your cup of tea (lol), Whisky Live Beirut is returning to the city this October for its eighth edition.

Taking over Achrafieh’s AVA Venue from October 7 to 9, 2026, the event will bring together more than 60 specialist producers, distributors and suppliers. Organized by Hospitality Services, the three-day event is expected to welcome more than 7,000 visitors. Not only will you get the chance to taste a wide selection of drinks, you can also make a few friends and meet experts in the industry.

While whisky is obviously the main attraction, there’s plenty more to explore once you’re inside.

Here’s What to Expect

A wide selection of single malts, Scotch, Irish, bourbon and blended whiskies, with exhibitors bringing different expressions for visitors to sample and compare. Each exhibitor will also showcase a white spirit of their choice, so the tasting experience will stretch beyond whisky to include gin, tequila and other premium spirits.

Don’t feel intimidated if you have no idea what any of that means. You can actually attend masterclasses and guided tastings, where distillers and industry experts give you a chance to try different expressions while learning about how they’re made, aged and finished.

If you find yourself wanting to take something home, the Lifestyle Boutique will feature whiskies, cigars and selected accessories for enthusiasts and collectors. For those looking for something a little more exclusive, the Gold Circle will offer access to prestigious new releases, limited editions and independent brands.

With producers, collectors, spirits professionals and curious drinkers all in the same space, Whisky Live Beirut is as much about discovering new bottles and meeting people in the industry as it is about tasting them.
