The Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival launches its 2026 event on April 29 with over 600 events spread across six days for whisky enthusiasts. 


The festival draws visitors from more than 40 countries, eager to learn about whisky in a region known for its high concentration of famous distilleries. Speyside alone is home to 51 working distilleries, representing more than a third of all those in Scotland.

 

Experience immersive tours, tastings, coopering workshops, chef-led dinners and meet Master Blenders as well as sampling whisky straight from the cask. 


The Dram Tram will offer scenic rides through the area and there will be a Friday night ceilidh at Craigellachie Distillery which is co-hosting an industry dinner, marking their 135th anniversary.
