Make it Milan: three bars and a whisky festival that celebrate Italy’s fashion-forward capital of style 

Milan is a great whisky destination. These three bars and the city’s annual whisky festival will help create an unforgettable visit for whisky fans

Whisky is big business in Milan, catering not only to the steady stream of fashion-conscious visitors to Italy’s northern design-led city but also to the long-term Italian fanbase for all types of whisky. 

Scotch is a big part of the attraction for the city’s residents, with the heavy peat flavours and sherry influence of Scottish distilling matching the Italian passion for flavour. But all whisky types are popular in Milan and, while drinking whisky neat is central, the Italian love of cocktails has further fuelled the growth in popularity. 

Here are three very different Milan bars and a whisky festival to encourage your visit to Milan this Autumn.
