MULTI-AWARDWINNING SPIRITS

Spontaneous, self-sufficient, and with a little spirit thrown in for good measure. That’s Stuart and Adelle Brown, founders of Deerness Distillery — Orkney’s first traditional distillery for over 130 years.

It is here that they produce their multi-award-winning Sea Glass gin, Scuttled gin, new Vára pink gin and Orcadian Moon coffee liqueur, as well as the UK’S most northerly distilled vodka. Sea Glass gin and Into the Wild vodka launched back in May, 2017, after a year of product development.

The year 2020 has seen the Orcadian Moon win five golds at the World Liqueur awards, and win the best other spirits category at the Great British Food Awards, while Into the Wild vodka won the UK’S best vodka.

The distillery boasts a beautiful shop, as well as tastings of their spirits for visitors. Plans are afoot to extending their award-winning spirits with a small batch of whisky in 2021. The whisky is going to be something unique and special, with grains grown in Deerness, malted on site, distilled and casks stored at the distillery until released for bottling.

Deerness Distillery spirits are a must try if you’re looking for an exclusive premium gin, vodka or liqueur!

The distillery’s products are truly unique and handcrafted. Stuart and Adelle carry out our entire production process by hand, from the creation and distilling to bottling and labelling. They are proud that this ethos and their values are embraced into the small, family-run business, ensuring they can operate in harmony with their surroundings in Deerness.
