Welcome back to Wh**ky Abbey 2026 – Waiheke Wh**ky

We’re very excited to welcome our friends from Waiheke Wh**ky back across the Tasman for Wh**ky Abbey Destinations 2026.

Producing single malt wh**ky on New Zealand’s beautiful Waiheke Island, Waiheke Wh**ky has quickly built a strong following for its small-batch releases and distinctive island character. It’s always great having the team with us, and we’re looking forward to seeing what they bring along this year.

Another brilliant international producer joining us for Australia’s biggest weekend of wh**ky.

Tasmanian wh**ky with a distinctly American influence.

We’re excited to welcome Rosevears Distillery from Tasmania’s Tamar Valley to Wh**ky Abbey Destinations 2026.

Rosevears takes a different approach to Australian wh**ky, combining 100% Tasmanian-grown grains with techniques inspired by American wh***ey making. Their Three Grain Wh***ey brings together Tasmanian corn, rye and malted barley with maturation in new toasted and charred American oak - creating Tasmania’s first “Bourbon-Style” wh***ey.

It’s a fascinating meeting point between Tasmania and the US, and another great Australian producer to explore at Wh**ky Abbey this November.

Welcome back to Wh**ky Abbey Destinations, Ikawa Distillery.

Hidden high in the mountains of Shizuoka, Ikawa is one of Japan’s most fascinating new wh**ky distilleries. Located at around 1,200 metres above sea level in the Southern Japanese Alps, its remote setting, cool climate and approach to local ingredients give Ikawa a story unlike just about any other Japanese wh**ky producer.

We’re incredibly excited to welcome Ikawa back to Wh**ky Abbey and to have international producers of this calibre making the journey to Melbourne to share their wh**ky with us.

Wh**ky Abbey Destinations takes place at The Timber Yard on 14 & 15 November.

Saturday Early Bird and Pre-Sale allocations have already been exhausted, so if Saturday is your day, we recommend securing your tickets soon!

Did you know Wh**ky Abbey has Masterclasses?

Beyond the festival floor, every year we put together a series of smaller sessions where you can sit down with the people behind the wh**ky, hear their stories and taste some rather special things along the way.

Over the years we've welcomed people including Yumi Yoshikawa from Chichibu, Australian wh**ky pioneer Bill Lark, Glenfarclas' Ian McWilliam, the team from Ikawa Distillery, and some of Australia's best wh**ky makers.

Sometimes it's a deep dive into one distillery.

Sometimes rare cask samples appear.

Sometimes things get considerably more ambitious.

And we're doing it all again in 2026.

We're not ready to tell you what's in the programme just yet.

But we can tell you this:

There are some very interesting people coming to Melbourne.
