Spirit of Speyside Part 1

The Spirit of Speyside is a local festival; in its essence a celebration of our local drink, culture and the tradition. This festival is as much for tourists as it is for the locals.

This article is introductory to the Spirit of Speyside.

The whisky festival will be hosting a numerous amount of activities, stalls and events from; a pop-up crafts stall which is to be orchestrated by a lovely local lady and her friends (who are renting the shop for a few days from the owner) to an event at the Cooperage where there will be four highly skilled Coopers building a 190litre barrel in the fastest time possible.

Here is the link for more information on the Guinness World record attempt at the Cooperage.

Many videos have been created called The Faces of The Festival and can be found on this link for the Spirit of Speyside Facebook Page.
These videos show some of the important people who are part of/contributing to the festival. And the Festival has many sponsors one of which is Forsyth's, who have sponsored the event for quite a few years.
