The shape of the day

It starts in daylight. It does not end there.

Most whisky events are a room. This one is a lawn on the coast that changes three times before the night is out.

  1. The Glenmorangie pavilion busy with visitors
    From 16:00

    The open floor

    Pavilions on the grass, the Marina behind them, and sixty distilleries pouring in daylight. Trade hour first, then the gates open.

  2. Branded whisky pavilions lit at dusk with the Dubai skyline in the distance
    From 18:30

    Golden hour

    The light goes amber, the masterclasses fill, and the cocktail stage starts its heats. This is the hour everyone photographs.

  3. A fire performer on stage in front of the evening crowd
    Until late

    After dark

    Fire performers, a live violinist, samba and a DJ. The pavilions stay lit and the pouring does not stop.
