ONE of the most popular events in the Glasgow calendar has been shortened this year from two days to one.
Whisky Live, a celebration of Scotland's national drink, has grown in popularity since it was first staged in Glasgow in 2004.
Two years ago the show moved from George Square to the SECC to cater for the thousands of visitors turning up to enjoy a dram.
But organisers say that this year's festival in September will be held at the Thistle Hotel in Cambridge Street - and will be a shorter, one-day event.
A spokeswoman said: "It is nothing to do with a lack of interest or the credit crunch - we had loads of people at the event last year.
"The exhibitors wanted it back into the City Centre and we listened.
"Next year we hope to have it back to a two-day format but have to take notice of what exhibitors want"
The show, on September 12, will be divided into two sessions, each costing £22. Visitors can enjoy sampling sessions and whisky tasting masterclasses.
