The Arbikie Highland Estate Distillery has announced that it will bring together more than 10 distilleries for a day of tastings, masterclasses and distillery experiences at its ‘A Dram Good Whisky Festival’.

Taking place on Saturday June 6th, the festival will welcome whisky enthusiasts, trade professionals and visitors to the Arbikie Estate for two ticketed sessions featuring drams from participating exhibitors, guided tours, talks from whisky makers and curated masterclasses throughout the day.

Set against the backdrop of the Arbikie Highland Estate on Scotland’s east coast, the festival will celebrate both the heritage and future of Scotch whisky, bringing together established producers alongside emerging and internationally recognised distilleries in what is expected to be one of the region’s standout whisky events of the summer.

Distilleries already confirmed for the festival include Bladnoch, Glencadam, InchDairnie, Kingsbarns and Nc’nean, alongside international names including Bivrost — the world’s northernmost distillery, based in Arctic Norway.

Hosted at the award-winning Arbikie Distillery, the event follows the estate being named Sustainable Distillery of the Year at the Icons of Whisky Scotland Awards 2026, further cementing Arbikie’s reputation as one of Scotland’s most progressive and sustainable independent distilleries.

Commenting on the news, Iain Stirling, Co-Founder of Arbikie Distillery, said: “This is about bringing people together through whisky. We wanted to create something that reflects the character of Arbikie — rooted in history, but always looking forward. The festival is an opportunity for people to discover new distilleries, meet the makers and experience the estate in a completely different way.”

Ian, added: “Whisky tourism continues to play an increasingly important role in Scotland’s food and drink story, and we’re proud to be hosting an event that brings people to Angus while showcasing the diversity and creativity happening across the industry today.”

Tickets for the festival, which will run across two sessions from 11:00–15:00 and 16:00–20:00 on June 6th, are priced at £40.00 and are available from: highlandryewhisky.com
