Whisky returned to Stirling for a reason.
Stirling Distillery sits in the Old Smiddy beneath Stirling Castle, and its whisky marks the return of distilling to the city for the first time since 1852. That gives every bottle, cask, and experience a sense of place you can actually feel.
-
Made beneath Stirling Castle, so the whisky feels inseparable from the city.
-
The first whisky made in Stirling since 1852, so this is a real revival, not a borrowed story.
-
Scotland's smallest whisky distillery, so the journey feels personal from start to finish.
