The Village 2025: Highlights from Germany’s Biggest Whisky Fair

The Village 2025

Table of the content:

Germanys biggest Whisky fair, “The Village” in Nuremberg, opened its doors again last weekend

210 exhibitors from 17 countries presented over 3,000 whiskys, whiskeys and rum's.

Thousands of whisky enthusiasts from all over Europe visited the trade fair over the three days, including a pre-opening on Friday and two days of the trade fair on Saturday and Sunday.

Among the exhibitors were industry giants such as Kirsch Import, which represents strong brands in Germany such as Signatory Vintage, Nikka and Glenallachie, but also interesting newcomers such as Sprithöker from Hamburg, who were able to impress with brands such as Brenne from France and the Irish Pearse Lyons. Numerous independent distilleries and bottlers were also among the exhibitors and were happy to invite you to chat and try things out.

In addition to spirits, there was also a diverse program with master classes, tastings and live music. At a small marketplace you could buy accessories such as barrel lids, handmade leather products and hand-blown whisky glasses.

The physical well-being was also taken care of, in the form of bowls, burgers and of course traditional Scottish haggis.

The visual highlight of the trade fair was undoubtedly the Scapa and Tullamore DEW stands. While the Scottish Orkney distillery Scapa had a beautiful sailing boat at their stand, the Irish from Tullamore DEW built an entire pub including a ball game.

Conclusion

“The Village” 2025 was again an absolute must for whisky lovers. The trade fair was well organized and left little to be desired. The atmosphere was very good and hardly any visitor left the trade fair without one or two new “whiskyfriends”.
