Thu 18th June 2026
10:00am - 6:00pm
Join us at Nc’nean on June 18th for the inaugural West Highland Whisky Festival, where we’ll be opening our doors for a full day of tours, tastings, music, local food, and exclusive festival experiences. Whisky lovers from around the world come together on our remote west coast site to celebrate flavour, whisky and community.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Tickets to our day are free and will include a distillery tour and tasting glass, with more drams and food available to buy.
Nc’nean founder Annabel Thomas will also be hosting ticketed warehouse tastings to give an insight into how our flagship whisky is created.
We’ll be serving drinks in our bar and have bottled an exclusive festival single cask for the occasion.
A shuttle bus will bring guests to and from the neighbouring village of Lochaline, and there will be a limited number of car parking spaces available. Walkers are most welcome, but we’re quite far from anywhere, so pack your hiking boots!
Although the festival is free, tickets and parking spaces are limited and must be reserved. Return tickets for the bus are £10 and must be booked in advance. The warehouse tasting with Annabel is priced at £45.
SESSION TIMINGS
The bus will leave from Lochaline at four points throughout the day: early morning, mid‑morning, at noon, and again in the early afternoon.
