On May 9, 2026, around 150 guests will have the opportunity to taste more than 100 different whiskies and premium spirits, while short educational seminars provide insight into the world of single cask bottlings and barrel-aged expressions.

About the Festival

Noble Spirits Festival 2026 will hopefully become a tradition.

With the dynamic growth of the local whisky scene, demand has grown for an alternative spirits festival focused on rare, premium bottles. On 9th May, at the D50 Hotel and Events Centre, we are launching a smaller, focused event aimed at experienced whisky and spirits enthusiasts.

Nearly 150 guests can immerse themselves in tastings of at least 100 bottlings from around a dozen brands in a true underground whisky show. And we haven't even mentioned the seminars, where further rarities are poured into the glasses!

Behind the festival: Noble Nectars

Noble Nectars is a Budapest-based independent bottler, importer and online whisky retailer. We curate single malts, single grains, blended whiskies and other spirits from world-renowned independent bottlers, while also organising whisky tastings and team-building events across the country.

In addition to releasing our own exclusive Hungaricons collection, we work alongside deservedly acclaimed partners such as Signatory Vintage, North Star Spirits, Claxton's, Thompson Brothers and many others — all of whom you will be able to meet at the festival.

The concept is simple: introduce rare and interesting whiskies to Hungarian enthusiasts, build a community around quality spirits, and share what we love. We don't just sell bottles — the tastings, the events, the conversations all serve to bring spirit lovers and industry professionals closer together.

Noble Spirits Festival is the next step in this philosophy: a full-day celebration with seminars, exciting stands and a room full of passionate whisky enthusiasts!
