A newly announced Orkney whisky distillery will be the first to open on the archipelago in 138 years.
Construction on the new six-figure Deerness Distillery, which already produces globally-recognised Orkney-inspired spirits such as Sea Glass Gin, will begin this spring. It currently operates as a self-built garden distillery run by husband and wife Stuart and Adelle Brown.
Once the new distillery opens, the family will begin production of their new whisky and increase bottlings of their existing gins, vodka and coffee liqueur. Among the highlights of the new development will be an "immersive" visitor centre experience showcasing the distilling process from nose-to-tail.
