At Arbikie Highland Estate near Montrose you follow a simple, flavorful trajectory: farmed crops become field‑to‑bottle spirits, and those spirits become the basis for two hands‑on cocktails crafted with an Arbikie ambassador. The experience pairs your creations with a charcuterie platter designed for two while you take in views across Lunan Bay; the distillery itself is not part of this offering.
