Whisky Live Paris: Epicurean Celebration of Spirits

30 September 2025 | 6 October 2025 | 3 min |

Since 2004, Whisky Live Paris has established itself as a major event in the world of spirits, organized by La Maison du Whisky at the Grande Halle de la Villette.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of this iconic event, taking place on September 28th and 29th, 2024. Whether you are a whisky or rum enthusiast, passionate about mixology, or a professional in the field (or not, like us at Rétines), this event promises a full immersion into the world of fine spirits.

What is Whisky Live Paris?

Whisky Live Paris is more than just a tasting fair; it’s a celebration of the art of distillation and tasting. Every year, it attracts exhibitors from around the world and passionate visitors eager to discover the latest innovations in spirits. The event offers an impressive variety of malts, rums, and other rare spirits, with dedicated areas such as the Tasting Plateau, the Rhum Gallery, and Cocktail Street, where mixology and gastronomy meet in perfect harmony. La Maison du Whisky, which launched the first Whisky Live Paris, also introduced the French license of Whisky Magazine, further strengthening its influence and commitment to the industry.

One of the main reasons to visit Whisky Live Paris is the unique opportunity to explore the impressive diversity of the global whisky scene. From renowned distilleries to small artisanal productions, the event showcases an extensive range of styles, flavors, and aging techniques. Whether you are a fan of Scottish single malts, American whiskies aged in bourbon barrels, or curious about innovations from emerging distilleries in Asia or elsewhere, each visit to Whisky Live offers the chance to discover and appreciate unique and fascinating expressions.
