MALAYSIA’S PREMIER WHISKY AND SPIRITS TASTING EVENT!

One day, two session : Saturday, November 25, 2023.

For the 10th edition of WhiskyPLUS, over 120 brands were offered, with most of those available for sampling. When not tasting the whiskies of the world, hundreds of guests also enjoyed made-to-order coffees, exclusive caviar tastings, curated mocktails, hand-rolled cigars, informative masterclasses, ice-cold sparkling water, and more! WhiskyPLUS really is Malaysia’s premier whisky and spirits tasting event.

The upcoming WhiskyPLUS in Penang has regrettably been postponed until the first half of 2026 due to circumstances beyond our control.

This site will be updated with full information on the 2026 Penang event soon.

For those in Kuala Lumpur, WhiskyPLUS is presenting a one-off holiday shopping and sampling event, Spirits of the Season, on December 13, 2025. This will be held at the Crowne Plaza KLCC, the venue at which WhiskyPLUS was held in August. At this event, guests will be able to sample from a range of spirits, wines, and even craft beers, along with artisanal F&B offerings. Food stations will be set up so you can purchase snacks to enjoy while you shop and sample. This is a great chance to get some of your pre-holiday shopping done, whether you’re gifting for Christmas or Chinese New Year — or even getting some goodies to celebrate the New Year’s Eve festivities.

Tickets for Spirits of the Season, which includes drink samples, a tasting glass, and a shopping bag, are just RM80 per person. For complete details, scroll down. Ticketing information will be available on the site by mid-November.

WhiskyPLUS is the original and genuine thing… Malaysia’s biggest whisky and spirits show!

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Success usually tends to attract imitators, so you may see other whisky shows come and go in KL. However, though other events may pop up and try to duplicate Malaysia’s biggest and longest-running whisky tasting event, don’t be fooled: There’s only one authentic WhiskyPLUS.

We send out a quarterly newsletter to previous guests of WhiskyPLUS to update everyone on our upcoming events and any other new developments in the whisky world. If you’d like to be on the list, drop a line to info@whiskyplus.my and we’ll add you – and your information will never be sold or shared with third parties.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row cth_layout=”gather_sec” css=”.vc_custom_1755699736677{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;background: #000000 url(https://whiskyplus.my/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/background-frontwp2025.jpg?id=4959) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”ONE DAY ONLY: SHOPPING, SAMPLING, SEASONAL SPIRITS!” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:12|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Muli%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”WhiskyPLUS Penang / POSTPONED – To be updated” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:45|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Anton%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”2″ el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#d6bb7a”][vc_empty_space][cth_countdown date=”13″ year=”2025″ time=”14:00:00″]

KINDLY NOTE THAT THE SHORTER SESSION ‘WHISKY EXPLORER’ PASSES WILL BE
AVAILABLE TO PRE-PURCHASE ONLINE FROM JULY 1, 2025 ONWARD.

For guests who have purchased advance tickets to WhiskyPLUS KL, the welcome email and QR code will be sent just prior to the event, most likely by August 13. Please do check your spam folder if you don’t see the email by the end of the day on that day. If you have not received by the evening of August 14, email us at info@whiskyplus.my and we’ll take care of it! Bring this QR code with you to WhiskyPLUS for check-in.

Each QR code will have all the passes contained in your purchase. So if you purchased four passes in one purchase, you will only get one QR code, which will give four entries at the registration desk.

Session 1 is from 12pm to 4:30pm

Session 2 is from 5:30pm to 10:00pm

The big KL event will take place on Saturday, August 16, 2025, while the Penang show is scheduled for Saturday, October 4, 2025.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is WhiskyPLUS all about? What’s the PLUS?” tab_id=”1687147341080-2809ca57-8ecb”][vc_column_text]WhiskyPLUS is Malaysia’s premier whisky and spirits show. Following two successful years in Kuala Lumpur, there was enough interest to take the event to Penang, too! And after a long Covid delay, the biggest whisky show in Malaysia returned at the very end of 2021, followed by an uninterrupted series of annual events up until now. The 2025 KL event marks the 10th overall edition of WhiskyPLUS in Malaysia, and it will be followed less than three months later by WhiskyPLUS Penang.

Our aim from the beginning has been to spread the love and appreciation for quality whisky and other spirits by allowing guests to learn about and taste a wide range at a single, special event. WhiskyPLUS is always held in a premium venue, and we limit the number of passes sold to ensure guests have a great experience without feeling jam-packed at every turn!

The PLUS refers to a few non-whisky offerings, specially chosen to allow boutique bottlers and craft distillers of other spirits to showcase their handiwork to enthusiasts like you! There will also be an outstanding range of Cuban and non-Cuban cigars on offer, plus the chance to talk with industry pros and insiders, too. Guests will also have a selection of cocktails and mocktails to sample between their whisky drams.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Why are you having two sessions?” tab_id=”1687147341214-de90bd5a-a74c”][vc_column_text]In order to allow more people to enjoy WhiskyPLUS, we chose to split a full day into two different sessions for the KL edition, with fewer passes available for each session, rather than just having one long session with more passes. Not only does this help ensure a more comfortable and enjoyable experience, it also lets guests choose the time that best suits them. For the smaller Penang edition, the event has just one session, which is slightly longer, allowing guests to come and go at their leisure.

For those who perhaps want to be introduced to whiskies or enjoy a casual yet comprehensive tasting session by day, our afternoon session is ideal. The afternoon sessions tend to be attended by more connoisseurs and enthusiasts, perhaps to ensure they get a chance to try some of the more coveted drams before they run out. (Spoiler alert: very few whiskies actually run out during the event!) The next session, on the other hand, will run in the evening and may offer a slightly different selection, but apart from that – and darker skies outside – the sessions will be much the same.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I stay all day?” tab_id=”1687147341404-e3886944-dca6″][vc_column_text]That’s fine by us, though we can’t say we really recommend it! But if you wish to buy passes to each session, you are of course welcome to do so. Kindly note, however, that the venue itself will be cleared and closed between the two sessions for cleaning, restocking, and general tidying up.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I buy my entry pass at the door on the day of the event?” tab_id=”1687147341541-c0eb7227-c9b0″][vc_column_text]If there is any capacity remaining, we will likely sell some “Whisky Explorer” passes at the door like we did in 2022. These lower-priced passes allow a shorter experience (two hours), and do not include a meal box. Only a tasting glass will be included with entry, which may be taken home. These passes, if made available, will be very limited in number, and will only be announced a a little over a week before the event. With that in mind, entry passes are best purchased in advance.

Kindly note that if any passes remain, ONLINE SALES WILL BE DISCONTINUED THREE TO FIVE DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT. We will note this prominently at the top of the website in the days immediately prior to sales being stopped. If the event sells out prior to this, online sales will be discontinued at that time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What safety and security measures are being taken?” tab_id=”1687147341677-03f168f7-1b64″][vc_column_text]Though the World Health Organization has declared the long Covid-19 pandemic to be formally over, of course the virus still exists and some people remain nervous about large crowds. We do encourage attendees to be fully vaccinated (and boosted, as applicable), but we no longer mandate this nor screen at entry.

We encourage guests who have any doubts to take a simple rapid antigen test immediately prior to coming to WhiskyPLUS. It’s fast, inexpensive, and will give you peace of mind. For anyone testing positive, obviously do not come to the event, but let us know, and we’ll ensure your pass will be valid for the next WhiskyPLUS, with no top-up required if prices increase.

Security has always been of paramount importance, and WhiskyPLUS engages with professional security teams to ensure everyone stays safe and minds their manners.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Is there a dress code?” tab_id=”1687147341815-544e2a7d-7680″][vc_column_text]Strictly speaking, nope. Come casual, come smart, we don’t really care. We would probably suggest not showing up in a singlet and flip-flops, but we don’t have a specific dress code. We want you to be comfortable and have a good time![/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Will there be any beer or wine available to sample?” tab_id=”1687147341958-8717f3ef-cee3″][vc_column_text]No. WhiskyPLUS is all about whisky and distilled spirits only. You will find a handful of special offerings of gin, rum, or vodka, for example, but there won’t be any wines or beers![/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”I want to come with my BFFs! Do you have discounted multi-pass packages?” tab_id=”1687156562049-c91fb686-d9b7″][vc_column_text]Check the pricing page for all the packages and passes which are currently available. Prices will be posted when passes are made available for sale, typically six to seven weeks before the event. As specific packages or passes sell out, we will remove them as options. Four-packs are made available after early bird sales have ended. For large groups (11 or more), please contact us directly at info@whiskyplus.my for additional discounts.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Will there be food available?” tab_id=”1687156634686-de67f8d4-98c5″][vc_column_text]Yes, for guests with a Standard or VIP pass, a voucher for a set meal box is included in your entry fee. For guests choosing the shorter-session Whisky Explorer pass, food is not included, but is made available for purchase.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is the VIP Lounge and why should I care?” tab_id=”1687156671304-7df150d5-765c”][vc_column_text]This year, there will be multiple VIP Lounges, and these are only for guests holding the Black VIP pass. Most of the actual premium whiskies will be poured for sampling at the exhibitor’s booths in the main tasting room (the VIP-only bottles will be on a special mat at each exhibitor’s booth for easy identification), but VIP pass holders can access the lounge areas at any time for greater comfort and relaxation. Some lounges will offer exclusive brands for tasting, along with additional food, caviar and smoked seafood tastings, and more.

Kindly note that the number of VIP passes for each session is limited and there are no multi-pass packages available for this tier.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What are the limits on premium whiskies for VIP tickets?” tab_id=”1687156714314-f01a28b3-8594″][vc_column_text]Those who purchase a VIP pass will receive 8-10 spots on their wristband (depending on the event) which can be redeemed for pours from the special VIP-only range of whiskies at exhibitor booths. Each pour will require a spot to be blotted out, so you’ll enjoy up to 10 pours of premium-range whisky (in addition to the unlimited tastings from the rest of the range). These top-shelf whiskies would carry a hefty price tag in any bar serving them, so even though it’s not free-flow, the VIP pass offers you enough premium drams to be a superb value.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I buy bottles of whisky or other spirits at WhiskyPLUS?” tab_id=”1687156756455-0dc065a6-7040″][vc_column_text]Absolutely! Though not every whisky offered for sampling can be purchased, a wide range of them will be made available for take-home purchase at the event at very attractive promotional prices, so we encourage guests to indulge in some whisky shopping! In fact, some bottles are only available for purchase. We do ask that guests not open their purchased bottles at the event, however.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”If I drive, how much is the parking?” tab_id=”1687156788323-418e3c1a-c52c”][vc_column_text]In order to discourage driving after drinking, we have chosen a venue that offers easy access by Grab, Bolt, or taxi, too. If you do choose to drive, parking at the venue is offered at an inexpensive, flat rate of RM10 (with validation). Guests will need to validate their parking with Crowne Plaza, and this will be located at main registration at the event venue.

Once your parking is validated, you’ll have a 30-minute grace period to exit the carpark.

This year, WhiskyPLUS is partnering with Bolt to offer discounted rides to and from the event. This discount code will be posted on the main landing page of the WhiskyPLUS website once it’s made available.

Unless you’re staying at the hotel, we definitely recommend not self-driving, so consider e-hailing, have a friend pick you up, or of course… just stay overnight at the hotel following the event![/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What whisky brands will be at WhiskyPLUS?” tab_id=”1687159090346-84a207ce-ca1e”][vc_column_text]We get this question a lot! Suffice it to say that, as always, WhiskyPLUS works with many brand owners, importers, and distributors from Malaysia and across the region to once again bring in a significant number of whisky brands (and various expressions of those brands). As more and more exhibitors are confirmed, the overall number and range of whiskies and other spirits grows, but it’s quite dynamic until a couple of weeks before the event. Though we have not yet finalised the full list of brands on offer, you may rest assured there will be dozens to choose from, and as always, our hope is that you’ll be introduced to some new labels and expressions of whisky that you’ve never tried before.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Are WhiskyPLUS passes refundable or transferrable once purchased?” tab_id=”1687159118578-51cf3292-fc46″][vc_column_text]Generally speaking, no. We expect a strong response to this event, and ticket sales will be limited, so in order to be fair and to ensure a quality experience, we have to plan based on the number of passes available for each session. So once the passes are sold, they’re not refundable. We’re also not keen for transfers since we don’t want anyone buying blocks of passes and then reselling them. Measures will be implemented to ensure passes are used only by those who purchase them and strict limits will apply for each purchase.

Transfers for urgent circumstances can be considered on a case-by-case basis, as we have done in the past. Just contact us, we’re always happy to help.
If the event has to be rescheduled due to any reasons beyond control, your purchase is guaranteed to be fully applied to the rescheduled date.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What if I buy for one session and change my mind and want to attend the other?” tab_id=”1687159152414-4d616592-4ed4″][vc_column_text]Well, it depends. We’re all human, and we understand that things change, so if you buy a pass for one session and later decide you want to come to the other one, just let us know – our info is on the contact page – and we’ll certainly see what we can do for you. If there are spaces available, we’ll help transfer your pass from one session to another. The transfer must be in the same tier (i.e., either Standard or VIP), and you must pay any applicable difference if the cost is greater.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What if I buy a Gold Pass and later decide that I want to be a VIP and get the Black Pass?” tab_id=”1687159191889-017c8f52-1699″][vc_column_text]Basically, the same conditions apply. Just contact us ASAP, and if there are still passes available for the VIP tier in the session you wish to attend, we’ll be happy to let you upgrade for the difference in price.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How can I possibly try so many whiskies in just one session?” tab_id=”1687159223346-d1430d2a-6f9b”][vc_column_text]You can’t, so please, please don’t try! With dozens of brands being exhibited, many of which offer numerous expressions, trying to sample even a small amount of every one of them would be a big mistake! Take your time, talk to the exhibitors, learn about their products, and enjoy the whiskies you find most interesting. Remember that this is a tasting event rather than a drinking event![/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][/vc_tta_accordion][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?

For guests who have attended WhiskyPLUS before, you know how the show runs. But if you’ve never been to a big whisky event like this, you’re in for a real treat. However, to make things run smoothly, there are things guests need to know, and of course a few rules and guidelines that need to be followed to ensure it’s a good time for everyone. So here’s the deal:

We encourage and expect responsible drinking! This is an event designed to let you taste a wide range of whiskies and other spirits, quite a few of which will hopefully be new to you. Tasting pours will vary, but most will be around 10mL. The number of pours you may enjoy during the session is not fixed, so if you like a particular label, you can return for more, but please don’t ask the exhibitors to top up your glass or “Make it a double!” or anything like that.

Booths and tables will be staffed by people who know about the products they’re pouring, so please ask questions and let them share their knowledge!

Stay hydrated! This is the most important aspect of any whisky event – and often the most overlooked. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the session. We will have water dispensers placed all around the venue for you to drink from. This also allows you to rinse your glass! Each table or booth will also be stocked with quality mineral water for you to add to your whisky if desired. For most whiskies, a few drops of water really helps to ‘open up’ the spirit, tame the alcohol burn somewhat, and release more of the whisky’s character.

A selection of food boxes will be made available during each session and we encourage you to enjoy what’s on offer at your leisure. Every guest with a Standard or VIP pass will receive a meal voucher, which can be redeemed for a set meal at certain times during the session. In the interest of smart drinking, we also encourage you to eat something prior to arrival at the event so that you’re not adding whisky to an empty stomach!

Upon entry, you’ll be given a special Glencairn-style whisky glass, clean and ready to use for your tasting session, and the glass is yours to keep after the event. We’ll also even throw in a handy whisky glass holder lanyard (subject to availability at some events) so you can “wear” your glass around your neck when not tasting, and keep your hands free! If you’d like a second glass to complete a paired set, we will have a limited number of those available for only RM18 each (or a set of four for RM60).

Finally, be sure to know your limit (and observe it) and behave yourself! This is a whisky appreciation event, not a frat party, so while we want everyone to have a great time and enjoy the fine spirits on offer, anyone causing problems, creating a spectacle, or generally not minding their manners will be subject to a proper scolding from security, up to and including removal from the venue without refund or compensation. Violators may also be blacklisted from future WhiskyPLUS events.

Don’t bring in any booze of your own. We’ll have plenty for you, trust us! Also, if you buy a bottle (or two) while at WhiskyPLUS, these must not be opened at the event. Guests are also not permitted to remove alcoholic beverages from the event venue, except for any sealed bottles which have been purchased.

Smoking is not permitted at WhiskyPLUS, except in specific areas which have been designated by the venue’s management.

The last pour will be at five minutes before the ending time for that session. Last pour times are strict, and no ‘last call’ announcements will be made.

VIP passes will entitle the holder to unlimited tastings of all the standard-range whiskies offered, plus 8-10 spaces on the VIP wristband which entitles the wearer to samples of premium whiskies, which will be offered by most exhibitors. This gives VIP guests plenty of premium labels to try. VIP pass holders will also enjoy early entry to the main tasting hall, access to the exclusive VIP Lounge with extra food and comfortable seating, and a special goodie bag filled with cash vouchers and other treats to take home, as well.

Kindly note that some minor particulars of the event are subject to change. The most up-to-date information will always be noted on this website. For complete terms and conditions of entry to WhiskyPLUS, click here.
