Whisky Colours Festival returns for in-person event for autumn 2021
The 2021 Whisky Colours Festival will take place from 8-10 October 2021, in Dufftown, Speyside.
Hosted by The Whisky Shop Dufftown, the festival will celebrate the abundance of whisky in the area and allows festival goers the chance to meet some of the biggest names in the industry.
