About The Brand Expo

Both Brand Expo & Socials on Friday and Saturday night of CWF26 are moving to our new home at Cork City Hall..!!! An iconic landmark in the heart of the city.

At the Expos, you will have access to over 50 brand tables and over 80 brands, with owners, distillers and reps helping you discover their liquids with free samples of amazing whiskeys, gins, rums, beers, poitíns and many more….

On entry, you will receive your free festival tasting glass to enhance your tasting experience.

There will again be a complimentary mixer stand, so you can enjoy an iced long drink, if that’s your preference.

This year, we will also have bespoke food trucks for you to purchase some tailored bites.

The Irish Malts Shop will again be the place to buy your exclusive Cork Whiskey Fest 2026 Bottlings…….. all to be revealed…
