THE STORY
Tucked away in Kirkcudbright, in the heart of Galloway, our award winning distillery is where craft, curiosity, and a touch of the unexpected meet. This is not just a tour. It’s an invitation into the process, the place, and the people behind the spirit.
THE STILL
Your visit (approx 90 mins) begins with a guided walk through the distillery, where you’ll see how our spirits are created from grain to glass. Along the way, you’ll meet Peggy our beautiful, custom-built copper still.
THE BOTANICalS
We’ll share the thinking, the experimentation, and the small details that shape what we do.
THE TASTING
No tour would be complete without a tasting.
You’ll be guided through a selection of our spirits (gin, vodka or Scottish agave) with time to slow down, take it in, and discover the character in each one. Whether you’re new to spirits or already know your way around a tasting glass, the experience is designed to be relaxed and welcoming.
