Whisky Live & Fine Spirits Macau 2025, co-presented by SJM Resorts, S.A. (“SJM”) and Whisky Magazine and supported by the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO) and the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM), was recently held at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau. It aimed to further promote the diverse development of “Tourism + Gastronomy”, contributing to Macau’s reputation as a “World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.”

The event brought together more than 80 global brands and over 500 whiskies and fine spirits, featuring international creators, Asia’s leading bars and mixologists, and whisky enthusiasts, and attracting over a thousand local and international attendees.

Daisy Ho, Managing Director of SJM, commented, “Through events like Whisky Live, SJM is proud to add depth to Macau’s identity as a ‘Creative City of Gastronomy’, bringing together masters of the culinary craft from around the globe, firmly positioning Macau as a regional hub of gastronomy excellence and highlighting its culinary heritage as a fascinating crossroads of culture and style.”

This year’s edition featured whiskies from Scotland, continental Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Guests sampled a diverse mix of aged single malts, creative cask finishes, boutique releases and premium portfolios from major international spirits houses.

Alongside the main tasting experience, masterclasses—led by experts from renowned distilleries, including Glenfarclas, Elixir Distillers, La Maison du Whisky, and Threefold Distilling—offered guests a rare chance to learn about whisky culture and sample from some of the most influential names shaping Scotch whisky today.

Making its debut, the high-energy Asia Bar Show became the highlight of the event. Twelve of Asia’s leading bars, including Mesa Bar, Hope & Sesame Group, Carrots Bar, To Infinity and Beyond, The Opposites, and Two Moons, took centre stage one after another. Steady crowds gathered to sample their signatures and limited-run cocktails created exclusively for the event. Complementing the tasting experience, energetic music performances by Hong Kong’s popular Cantopop DJ duo Beat Friday, alongside jazz legend Eugene Pao and his quartet, filled the venue with rhythm and flair.
