About us
On 12,000 m² of the Sopot Hippodrome, Polish representatives of the world’s largest alcohol brands presented a rich portfolio of whisky – Scotch, Irish, American, as well as varieties from other corners of the globe.
Our festival is dedicated to the “water of life” – whisky – as well as other categories of spirits, yet whisky has always remained the queen.
The originator and organizer of the festival is Dom Whisky – a nationwide network of whisky bars and cocktail lounges, whose story began in 2009 in Jastrzębia Góra. Today, Dom Whisky can be visited in Jastrzębia Góra (Droga Rybacka 60), Warsaw (Nowy Świat 32), Wrocław (Rzeźnicza 28–31), and Sopot (Grunwaldzka 1–3). The network also develops the e-commerce platform Dom Whisky Online – one of the largest luxury spirits stores in Europe, offering over 9,500 bottles, including more than 6,000 whiskies. Dom Whisky Online also has physical locations in Reda (Wejherowska 67), Wrocław (Rzeźnicza 28–31), Warsaw (Krucza 16/22, Pańska 97), and Gdańsk (Kołobrzeska 2).
As a result of our efforts, the first Whisky Festival in Poland was held on August 22–23, 2014, immediately attracting a wide audience from across the country. Each subsequent edition has enjoyed increasing popularity, with the number of participants growing year by year. After just a few editions, the festival became an event for which tickets sold out in advance – often at least a week before it began. It was this growing demand that led to the 2025 edition being moved to a new, larger location.
