Northumberland's newest museum and first whisky distillery has announced the launch of its inaugural spirit.
Ad Gefrin, which is due to open in February 2023, has already been named one of the world's most anticipated museum openings and it is hoped will give the town of Wooler a "significant" tourism boost. The museum will showcase the court of the Northumbrian kings and queens who drew people from all over the world to visit their summer palace in nearby Yeavering.
And ahead of next year's much-anticipated opening, its first blended whisky has been launched - though it will be some time before the single malt follows. Tácnbora, meaning ‘Standard Bearer’ in Old English, is a combination of Scottish and Irish whiskies and aims to reflect a brand built on ancient hospitality and bringing everyone together.
