The Orkney Distillery

Unmistakably Orcadian Spirits

We handcraft our spirits in small batches using traditional copper stills in a process defined by passion, commitment and
attention to detail.

Fara - Blended Malt Scotch Whisky


Small batch, blended malt Scotch Whisky from some of Scotland's finest distilleries, including Orkney. 

This whisky edition is elegantly smooth, with sweet notes of heather honey and vanilla, complimented by hints of spiced apple.

Kirkjuvagr Origin


Reflecting the boldness of our Norse ancestors, the clarity of our seas and the purity of our air, Kirkjuvagr is a hand-crafted Orkney gin for the modern, discerning gin enthusiast.

Orkney Gin Symbol

Arkh-Angell


Arkh-Angell is a tribute to generations of island seafarers, and carries the name of a local fishing boat that has a place close to the heart of many Orcadians.  The gin’s name also reflects the use of a locally grown variety of Norwegian angelica, called Archangelica, taken to the Islands centuries ago by sailors from the North.

Orkney Gin Symbol

Aurora


In Orkney, the appearance of the Aurora Borialis, or Northern Lights, marks the start of our journey towards the long, dark nights of an island winter.  The almost endless days of our summer means that this breath-taking spectacle can't be easily seen, so the return of our 'Merry Dancers' is always eagerly anticipated.  It's a time for wrapping up and gazing skywards in awe, before gathering indoors to share stories around a roaring peat fire.

Orkney Gin Symbol

Beyla


In Norse mythology, Beyla was the goddess of bees, with a strong connection to the earth.  

At Orkney Distilling, we share her bond with the land, growing our botanicals here in the islands, where the influence of the Norse gods can still be felt.  

We’ve added Orcadian honey and Scottish raspberries to our legendary Kirkjuvagr Gin to create this special spirit in homage to the goddess.
