The Distillery's woodland home on the banks of the River Derwent has a long history of innovation and forms part of a *UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Every aspect of production and maturation s done onsite at the Distillery to ensure that the unique location and environment can play their part in the provenance of the final spirit.

The Distillery's traditional, bespoke copper pot stills have been hand-built by McMillan and are run slowly to help produce the desired flavour profile. The final spirit is matured in a variety of carefully selected first fill oak casks, including ex-bourbon, virgin and STR (re-conditioned casks that have been shaved, toasted and re-charred), adding the final rich flavours to the whisky.
