We are excited to welcome Arbikie Distillery to Stirling Whisky Festival this weekend who will be showcasing their Highland Rye whisky - a Single Grain bottling from their core range.

The Arbikie Distillery rye spirit is significant because it revives a historically important but rarely grown Scottish crop, reinforcing our distillery’s commitment to biodiversity and regenerative agriculture. Rye is naturally hardy, requires fewer inputs and improves soil health, making it a strong fit with our sustainable farming ethos.

From a flavour perspective, it produces a distinctive, high quality spirit with a rich, spicy character, layered with notes of pepper, vanilla and toasted oak, offering something more complex and unique than more traditional grain spirits whilst staying true to Scotland’s agricultural heritage.

Come along and try it for yourself this Saturday at the Highland Hotel: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stirling-whisky-festival-25th-april-2026-tickets-1975338818581?aff=oddtdtcreator
