As a proud recipient of a four-star rating from Visit Scotland, our establishment is more than just a distillery; it's a testament to Scotland's rich tapestry of myths, legends, and folklore.

We seamlessly blend time-honoured techniques with contemporary innovations, ensuring every sip tells a story of the Highlands.

Our dedication to sustainability sets us apart. Not only are we one of the lowest carbon distilleries in the country, but we also harness the power of the River Ness to fuel our operations. This commitment extends to every facet of our production, from the eco-friendly amenities to our sustainable on-site energy centre and the 'Brewstillery'.
