WHISKY FROM THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

We’re on a journey to perfect a distinctive product from a unique place. We’re combining the best of tradition with a contemporary nous, building a local brand with global appeal. Shetland Whisky is destined to become an extraordinary, sought-after, exclusive premium product.

IAN MILLAR
Master Distiller

Shetland is Scotland’s most northerly outpost, a windswept archipelago where the Atlantic Ocean meets the North Sea. Defined by its dramatic weather, rugged coastline and low rolling hills, Lerwick is a charming small harbour town combining an earthy Scottish congeniality with a warm Norse character. A vibrant community, hard work for hardy folk, and true artisan ingenuity and craft, all crucial for producing Shetland Whisky.

Distilleries have expanded throughout Scotland, even south into England and north to the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Somehow, the Shetland Islands, Scotland’s most remote outpost, have been quietly forgotten… until now. 
There’s more to the story; we discovered that Shetland has the absolute qualities of climate and resources to make a truly remarkable Shetland Whisky.

PATIENCE IS GOLDEN

Building a ‘state-of-the-art’ Scotch Whisky distillery is ‘an art’. The construction methods of our distillery and every piece of equipment have been carefully chosen to craft Shetland Whisky.

Our magnificent copper stills are produced to traditional Scottish standards and shaped to provide a specific flavour profile. Meticulous attention to detail in skills and craft is at the core of everything we do, ensuring every bottle of Shetland Whisky stands out.
