Kick off the year by gaining fresh insights through a knowledge-focused talk while socialising with industry peers in the vibrant city of Glasgow. This signature event is ideal for connecting with designers, architects, and key decision-makers, offering a perfect platform to expand your professional network across Scotland in a relaxed yet professional atmosphere.
The panel discussion will take you behind the scenes of the Port of Leith Distillery, an award-winning architectural and whisky-making achievement that has transformed Scotland’s distilling landscape. Towering 40 meters above the waterfront, this first-of-its-kind vertical distillery revolutionizes whisky production with a gravity-led process that optimises efficiency while offering an unparalleled visitor experience.
With space constraints shaping its unique design, the nine-story structure stacks whisky production, tasting rooms, and hospitality spaces, allowing guests to experience every stage of the process while enjoying breathtaking views of Leith, Edinburgh Castle, and the Firth of Forth.
The discussion will feature key contributors from the project, who will share insights into the architectural challenges, fabrication process, and visitor-focused design that brought this £13m project to life.
Now a GIA award-winning destination, the distillery welcomes over 100,000 visitors annually, offering a space that blends industrial honesty with contemporary elegance. Join us for a conversation that reveals the collaborative ingenuity behind this landmark whisky experience.
