An opportunity to make history on the edge of Northumberland National Park has arisen for two people who are passionate and knowledgeable about whisky.
Ad Gefrin, which is expected to open this autumn and has been named as one of 2022's most anticipated museum openings in the world, will be an immersive experience into the area's Anglo Saxon Golden Age, as well as the county's first whisky distillery. Nestled at the base of the Cheviot Hills, the visitor experience and distillery tells stories of, and is inspired by, the 7th Century summer palace of the kings and queens of Northumbria, discovered four miles north at Yeavering.
And it's seeking two distillers to help make Northumberland's first legal single malt whisky. Those appointed will work alongside the Director of Distilling, Ben Murphy, and it is hoped that together, they will help to shape a long-lasting legacy for Wooler and the county.
