About Us

We are a small family-run distillery creating hand crafted gin and whisky in the historic ‘Old Smiddy’ building. Our products celebrate the rich history and folklore of Stirling.

Sample our award-winning nettle-based classic gin, try our independent whisky range, or indulge in our Bloody Scotland cocktail designed for the annual Crime Writing Festival.

You can even create your very own gin at our award-winning gin school. Voted Visitor Attraction of the Year at the Stirling Business Awards, we offer daily gin and whisky tastings, distillery tours and a small on site shop so book a visit today!
