The Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival 2026
With over 700 events, the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival has been attracting visitors from around the world since 1999.
Every year, over 50 distilleries come together to celebrate the distinctive flavour of Speyside whisky. For 2026, Speyburn is proud to present three Spirit of Speyside exclusives - bringing back our beloved Managers’ Cask Experience and unveiling two special events dedicated to our oldest-ever release, the 1975 Distillery Exclusive
Euan Henderson, Distillery Manager at Speyburn said: "The Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival is iconic and a true mainstay in any whisky-lovers' diary."
"Last year's Festival was a huge success for us at Speyburn. We opened our doors to visitors for the first time to mark our 125th anniversary and were amazed by the level of demand. The tours were so popular we sold out in just 12 hours and we also received the 'Best New Event Award'.
"This year we are once again pulling out all the stops to share Speyburn's rich story with whisky fans from across the globe and look forward to welcoming visitors through our doors as part of the Festival."
Until then, Sláinte!

Getting to the distillery
You’ll find the Speyburn distillery hidden in a secluded valley next to the crystal-clear waters of Granty Burn on the River Spey. When you spot our pagoda-shaped roof poking out of the treetops, you’ll know you’ve arrived at the home of Speyburn.
Our Authentic Heritage
125 years ago, Speyburn’s founder, John Hopkins, worked tirelessly with his team through freezing winter days and nights, determined to fill its first barrel of whisky in time to toast to Queen Victoria’s Diamon Jubilee. After overcoming several challenges, Hopkins was finally rewarded with the first barrel of Speyburn single malt Scotch whisky in December 1897.
125 years of craft and expertise go into each and every bottle of Speyburn. This has allowed Speyburn to perfect our whisky, resulting in a wonderful, uncomplicated dram, every time. Both traditional and innovative methods of production come together to create outstanding whisky.
Award-winning Speyside Malt
In 2022, Speyburn 10 Year Old secured several awards including Gold at the International Spirits Challenge and Silver at the San Francisco World & Spirits Competition. In addition, Speyburn 15 Year Old secured Gold at the International Spirits Challenge and Speyburn 18 Year Old was awarded Gold at International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
125 years in the making, Speyburn is more than a whisky!
