The Cabrach will be at the Dornoch Wh**ky Festival on Saturday 24th October 2026.

Our wh**ky-making is rooted in The Cabrach’s rich distilling heritage: long fermentations, small stills, slow distillations and worm-tub condensers. A patient approach, handcrafted, driven by the pursuit of flavour, complexity and character.

We are pleased to be attending Dornoch Wh**ky Festival. Meet the team, share a dram, and hear more about our **kyWithPurpose story.

Great to see The Feering: Early Harvest behind the bar at Highlander Inn - Craigellachie, a world renowned wh**ky bar in the heart of Speyside.

For those of you staying in the area, The Cabrach is only a short distance away. Why not come for a visit and learn more about what we’re doing on the rugged edge of Speyside.

This was a wild place where nature held sway – aside from the productive parcels of land, tamed through rural toil. But there was another wildness at work: a rebellious spirit which found form in illicit stills that gave birth to wh**ky traditions that live far beyond this remote corner of Scotlan...

Our Hairst weekend brought together community, brought visitors from near & far, and brought together The Collective.

We began by celebrating Alan Wi******er, a remarkable figure in the Scotch wh**ky industry, whose 50+ years of experience, generosity and belief have helped guide The Cabrach Distillery from an idea to first spirit and beyond.

We then gathered for our inaugural Community Hairst Supper, reviving an old North East tradition of neighbours and friends coming together around harvest time. With hearty food, traditional music, bothy ballads and plenty of community spirit, it was a wonderful reminder that the future of The Cabrach is rooted in the people and traditions that have always shaped this place.

And finally, we welcomed our Collective members back to Inverharroch for our second exclusive Open Day. With the Buck Still now operational, we were delighted to share this important, sample the spirit, walk the fields and, of course, fill one of the first casks with new make spirit from The Buck Still.

The weekend captured three very distinct moments with one shared spirit: belief in the future of this remarkable place.

At the heart of The Cabrach Distillery is our Distillery Manager and Head Distiller, Euan Christie. Euan has spent two years helping shape the wh**ky we are now laying down in . His technical understanding, instinct and commitment to character are central to our wh**ky-making philosophy: creating spirit rooted in place and tradition, with a character entirely its own.

The contribution that Alan has made is immeasurable. One of the chief architects of our **kyWithPurpose mission here in The Cabrach.

So much still to do, and no shortage of challenge ahead, but every now and then it feels important to stop and notice how far things have come.

Last night was one such moment. We gathered for a lovely, intimate evening to recognise Alan Wi******er and the extraordinary role he has played in helping The Cabrach Trust take our Distillery from concept to fruition - incredible conversation, beautiful hospitality and great company. We’ll have more to share on that very soon.

And then today begins another busy couple of days, with around 70 guests coming through the doors at The Cabrach Distillery and more than 60 people gathering this evening for our community Hairst Supper.

Even a few years ago, we genuinely couldn’t have imagined days quite like these in . People coming together. Buildings busy. Visitors arriving. Old friendships. New connections.

None of it happens by accident, and none of it happens without the support of the community and the work of a brilliant wee team.

A quiet reminder that progress - moment by moment, project by project - is happening.

“Aye, stories and meaning matter.”

As The Cabrach Trust’s work continues to grow and evolve, so too does our organisational identity.

You might have noticed our refreshed identity beginning to appear across our website, newsletters, social channels and literature. A small change perhaps, but one with a story behind it.

For some, a logo might simply be window dressing. For us, it was an opportunity to say something about the place where we work, and the work we are here to do. Our starting point was The Cabrach itself…

The meaning of the name has long been debated. Traditionally, it has been associated with “timber moss”, although this has no recognised counterpart in Scottish Gaelic. Other interpretations include “antler place”, while Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba, the national advisory partnership for Gaelic place-names in Scotland, suggests “the place of the trees”.

So we took two of those ideas – the antler and the tree – and brought them together.

Our logo became a Rowan sapling growing from an abandoned antler: a simple representation of growth, renewal and regeneration. It reflects something of the history of this place, while looking firmly towards its future.

From there, we worked closely with a local friend and illustrator to bring the idea to life. And then came the orange.

For those familiar with The Cabrach, you’ll know it well. Old baler twine, visible the length and breadth of the glen. A flash of brightness against the landscape, flickering in the breeze. Mending fences. Holding gates. A common, practical sight that says something about the resourcefulness and resilience of rural life.

So this new identity carries something of The Cabrach with it: its landscape, its history, its people and, importantly, a sense of renewal.

Aye, stories and meaning matter. And our refreshed identity will travel alongside our work as we continue our ambitious programme of community-led regeneration and investment in .
