2026 Dram Good Whisky Festival Returns to Arbikie

Exploring Craft and Sustainability: 2026 Dram Good Whisky Festival Returns to Arbikie

Dram Good Whisky Festival has announced its return to Arbikie Highland Distillery in Montrose, Scotland, on June 6, 2026. Following the success of the inaugural 2025 event, this edition will be held across two sessions at the Arbikie Distillery Experience venue. The festival centers on creating a premium platform for iconic, experimental, and sustainable brands. To enhance convenience, shuttle bus services between Montrose railway station and the distillery have been arranged, ensuring participants can easily reach this East Coast distillery to experience the diverse craft and unique charm of whisky.

The exhibitor list features 11 exceptional producers, ranging from traditional heritage names to forward-thinking brands. Alongside host Arbikie, renowned Scotch names such as Fettercairn Distillery, Glencadam Distillery, Kingsbarns Distillery, GlenAllachie Distillery, and Inchdairnie Distillery will be present. The lineup also includes Nordic brand Bivrost Whisky from Norway and the independent Blind Summit Whisky. This blend of traditional craft and modern innovation offers a perfect opportunity for attendees to explore whiskies from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Sustainability is a core theme of this year's festival. Host venue Arbikie Highland Distillery is famous for its "Field-to-Bottle" model and gained international acclaim for developing Nàdar, a climate-positive spirit. Additionally, Nc’nean Distillery, Scotland’s first net-zero distillery focused on eco-friendly processes, will participate. While embracing innovation, the festival also honors tradition, with Glenturret Distillery—established in 1763 as Scotland’s oldest operating distillery—joining the list. This event is truly a whisky celebration that balances environmental awareness with ancient distilling traditions.
