Mark your calendars for Saturday 12th September, because the grand finale of the 2026 Hebridean Whisky Festival is coming right here to the Isle of Raasay Distillery!
Whether you’re completing the full trail or just joining us for the big final day, it’s going to be an unforgettable island party. From 12pm-5pm, we will be pouring alongside our neighbouring Hebridean distilleries: Torabhaig, Talisker, Isle of Harris, North Uist, Tiree, Tobermory, and Benbecula. The Distillery will be open from 10am, so feel free to arrive early and enjoy the view!
This is a ticketed event for 200 guests, and tickets can be purchased via Hebridean Whisky Trail via the link below.
Here is what you can expect on the day:
Heading back to Isle of Skye that night? Join the official closing party taking place at Seumas’ Whisky Bar at The Sligichan Hotel.
A day of festivities needs nourishment and we’ve got just the thing for you. Lunch will be served at our distillery on the day – please note that this is not included in the ticket price, speak to our Island Experience Team on arrival to purchase your Highland & Island Buffet Ticket for £15.
If you fancy exploring the island more whilst you are here, our neighbours at Raasay House will also be open for lunch from 12:00 – 15:30, as well as local vendor Thyme & Tide Bakes for teas, coffees and tasty treats from 10am – 3pm.
For those of you staying later on the island, celebrations continue at the bar and Raasay Burgers will be available from 5pm.
It’s easy to get to Raasay from Skye, we’re just a 25 minute ferry ride from Sconser and you can book tickets directly on the Caledonian Macbrayne website.
Please note: Parking at the ferry terminal in Sconser is very limited so we encourage guests to bring cars over to Raasay where they will find additional parking. Alternatively, if you are planning to travel to and from Sconser by bus or taxi, we are only a 10 minute walk on the other side. Look out for the Raasay team in the high vis! If you have any queries or need assistance please reach out to [email protected].
We expect the return ferry to be very busy which is why the whisky festival finishes at 5pm. Celebrations will continue at the distillery, but make sure to plan accordingly and catch one of the final ferries on Saturday 12th September at 5pm, 6.05pm, or 7.30pm.
