Our Home
Archipelago Spirit
Shetland gifts us the perfect climate, precise conditions and invaluable opportunity to craft a unique Single Malt Scotch.
A windswept archipelago where the Atlantic Ocean meets the North Sea, Shetland is defined by its dramatic weather, rugged coastline and low rolling hills.
Lerwick, the capital, a charming small harbour town combining an earthy Scottish congeniality with a warm Norse character. The community, vibrant, hardy folk, with true artisan ingenuity & craft.
60° North
Whisky is made far and wide, but of course Scotch can only be crafted in Scotland, of which we are part.
At 60º North, the North Atlantic Drift rewards us with a low temperature differential. Combined with a gusty average wind speed of 14.7 knots providing constant natural ventilation of salty sea air, we have an unmatched climate, perfect for Whisky maturation.
Springs of Valhalla
Shetland is also the source of water that is extraordinary, naturally crisp, always cool and pure.
Rare Paleozoic Metamorphic Rock springs and windswept unsheltered lochs provide the highest quality water in terms of purity and pH level. We source from several secret springs, where there is no agriculture and simply nothing but nature and the elements.
We affectionately call these our ‘Springs of Valhalla’.
