Features at the Show

There's a whole host of features and events taking place during Distil, designed to educate, enthuse and entertain you.

Distil Tastings

Tastings at Distil 2009

Offering industry insight and specialist guidance as well as blind tastings, Distil Tastings focuses on the product behind the label, rather than being influenced by brand recognition. Working in partnership with Taste and Flavour, the leading network of industry speakers, we really have assembled a stellar line up of industry experts throughout the three days.
