Her Dram Story comes to Edinburgh on 19 August

Her Dram Story brings women working across Scotland’s whisky industry to The Glasshouse Hotel in Edinburgh on Wednesday 19 August 2026. Running from 6pm to 9.30pm, the £45 event is intended for whisky enthusiasts and industry professionals interested in tasting, conversation and networking.

Organised by Go&Glow.edi, the evening focuses on women working in roles including brand leadership, business ownership, consumer education and independent bottling. According to the listing published by Forever Edinburgh Events, tickets are available through the Her Dram Story event page.

Whisky tasting, industry stories and fragrance pairings

The programme combines whisky tasting with conversation and storytelling rather than centring on a single presentation. Representatives are due to attend from Whyte & Mackay, The Borders Distillery, Woodrow’s of Edinburgh, Sipseekers and Fragrant Drops.

That range gives attendees the opportunity to hear from people connected with different parts of the whisky sector in one setting. The emphasis is on the people working behind the brands and businesses as well as on the drams being tasted, with time for participants to make industry connections during the evening.

Molton Brown will provide fragrance-pairing experiences alongside the whisky programme. The event also supports Scottish Women’s Aid, linking its focus on women in the industry with a named Scottish charity. The source does not provide a detailed running order, identify individual speakers or specify which whiskies will be poured.

Who the event is designed for

Her Dram Story is presented as an event for both whisky enthusiasts and industry professionals. Its combination of tasting, storytelling and networking may therefore suit visitors who want to learn about contemporary whisky work directly from participating organisations, as well as people already involved in the sector who want to meet others working across it.

No previous tasting experience or other entry requirements are stated in the listing. Prospective attendees looking for information about the precise tasting selection or session format should check the event page before booking.
