Gareth Croll, festival co-ordinator, said: "I'm so excited to reveal our country-wide festival plans for 2025, but first and foremost, the announcement of a new date for our much-loved Glasgow edition in April will surely steal the show.
"We were devastated to have to postpone January's festival in SWG3 due to Storm Éowyn, however, we've turned it into a positive and with the space available in SEC the overall size of our event has in fact grown.
"We are all raring to go and can't wait to deliver a landmark day for Scottish whisky, music, and culture - see you there."
