What to Expect on 24 January 2026

As excitement builds for the Band Batch release at Olde Raleigh Distillery on 24 January 2026, we wanted to share a clear overview of how the day and evening will unfold. The event takes place at 209 N. Arendell Ave, Zebulon, NC 27597.

The Band Batch release begins at noon at Olde Raleigh Distillery. Wake & District will be on site and performing during the release. The distillery remains open throughout the afternoon and evening, with drinks available at the bar and food trucks on site for anyone who would like to grab a meal.

At 5:00 pm, Event Space doors open at Olde Raleigh Distillery. Admission is $20 and includes a Wake & District branded pint glass or a Wake & District branded whiskey taster glass. Each glass includes a ticket good for one pour of the Band Batch Bourbon or one pint of tap beer.

Bottles of the Band Batch Bourbon will be available for purchase at $79.95.

Food will not be served by the band, though food trucks will be available on site during the event.

Entertainment begins at 6:00 pm with the skirl of the pipes and drums, followed by the piping in of the Band Batch, an Address to the Batch, performances by the Raleigh Scottish Dancers, and other Burns-inspired moments. Formal attire is not required. Kilts optional. Wake & District will perform twice during the program, and band t-shirts will be available for purchase.
