Our Five Keystones of Production

HAND CUT AROMATIC PEAT

Our Hobbister peat moor is the DNA of Orkney
HAND TURNED FLOOR MALTINGS

We’re one of only a handful of distilleries to still turn our malt by hand. It’s hard work, but as our Viking ancestors taught us: nothing worthwhile comes easy.
SHERRY OAK CASKS, THE VIKING WAY

A cask is to us what a longboat is to our Viking ancestors
LONG WINTERS, COOL MATURATION

To effectively mature whisky, you need time, stoic patience, and a bastardly long winter. Welcome to Orkney.
CASK HARMONISATION

Creating a balanced whisky requires time and skill. However, creating the distinctive balance we’re known for, also requires harmonisation.
Our Orkney Home
Our island home has its own distinct culture, climate and geology. It makes us what we are – proud to stand apart.
