The local area

Our distillery couldn't be located in a more dramatic and awe-inspiring place. Beneath our feet lies the Great Glen fault line, 62 miles long and the creator of the highest peak in the British Isles, Ben Nevis, a humbling 4413 ft. And just north from us is Abriachan, the village where the legendary 'King of smugglers' Donald Fraser distilled gallons of fine, duty-free whisky, prized for its unusual purity of the water. These geographical marvels and enchanting tales define our culture and make their way into every drop of our gin.

Fauna & Wildlife

With just one step outside our door, we are surrounded by diverse wildlife, from the mute swan to the elusive otter. On a clear day along the waterside, you are likely to spot a grey heron standing motionless by the water's edge waiting for its supper. We are often paid a visit by oystercatchers and soaring buzzards, and if you are very lucky, the magnificent osprey makes an appearance. Three kinds of deer also dwell in our woodlands; the Red deer, Roe deer and the imported Sika deer. Nature is all around us and unquestionably an essential part of our story.
