What do you like most about working at the Orkney Distillery? 

I love meeting new people, listening to their stories and teaching them all about the brand here. Helping them to understand the work and care that goes into every single bottle of gin produced at the distillery. It’s a true labour of love and it’s great to work with a team who are so enthusiastic and keen to make everyone’s visit here one to remember!
