Whisky Abbey 2026 Masterclasses
Some of the people joining us at Whisky Abbey this November are travelling a very long way to be here.
Across Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, Whisky Abbey Destinations 2026 will host a full program of intimate masterclasses, bringing guests face-to-face with distillers, founders, whisky makers and the people behind some of the bottles we love.
The first release of masterclasses has now been revealed, with tickets going on sale to the public on Friday 18 September.
Already have your Whisky Abbey ticket?
Festival ticket holders will receive priority access to masterclass bookings from 12pm on Thursday 17 September, giving them the first opportunity to secure their preferred sessions before the public release.
Masterclass places are intentionally limited, with many sessions expected to sell quickly. If you have not yet secured your festival ticket, now is the time to lock in your preferred day and receive access to the ticket-holder presale.
This is only the first release of the Whisky Abbey 2026 masterclass program. More masterclasses, special guests and festival activations will be announced as we draw closer to the festival.
