Slow Food Glasgow
Coffee can be both a tasty ritual and a force for good. Come and boost your coffee experience by tasting the rich, complex flavours of beans grown through regenerative farming and agroforestry. These are more natural, traditional methods that integrate coffee plants with native trees, crops and an practices like bee-keeping. This helps soil health and wildlife while creating more varied sources of income for growers. This tasting event, brought to the city by Slow Food Glasgow and Coffee Coalition, will share the stories behind the coffee produced by small independent farmers. Discover, enjoy and contribute to a movement that empowers communities and protects the environment

Liquid Oats
Liquid Oats Sweet Vanilla is a contemporary whisky cream liqueur made by Scottish bartenders on the cobbled streets of Glasgow’s famous, Ashton Lane. The smooth texture and subtle notes harness a flavour profile of rich, warm, nutty notes, brought to life through premium Scotch whisky.
Inspired by modern Scotland, Liquid Oats is an authentically Scottish brand made with premium Scottish Whisky and condensed oat milk. We believe that our heritage should be celebrated, owing the distinct flavour profile to the aromatic flavours of the whisky.
Liquid Oats Sweet Vanilla is a modern take on Scotland’s oldest cocktail, Atholl Brose - a cocktail made in haste going into battle. Legend has it that the 1st Earl of Atholl sent his men to spike the rebel leaders water well with oatmeal, whisky and honey. Liquid Oats Sweet Vanilla is delicious modern version, made 100% vegan friendly and sustainably.
Enjoy Liquid Oats chilled, over ice and in the company of friends. Simply pour Liquid Oats over ice in your favourite rocks glass and taste the burst of sweet flavours, completely guilt free!
