the spirit of the borders

Welcome to The Borders Distillery

The first Scotch Whisky Distillery in the Scottish Borders since 1837

Using locally grown barley, mineral rich water and a team made of industrious spirit, we’re bringing Scotch Whisky back to the Borders. In Scotlands rarest whisky producing region, we wait patiently for the arrival of our very own Single Malt.

THE BORDERS, BOTTLED.

Explore our range of experimental Blended Scotch Whiskies, Borders Gin & Vodka.

new experience: become a distiller for a day

Ever wondered what it’s really like to run a working distillery?

Distiller for a Day is your chance to step behind the scenes at The Borders Distillery and experience the craft of whisky-making first-hand.

Spend the day alongside our distillers as you explore each stage of the process – from raw ingredients to spirit flowing from the stills. You’ll discover how locally grown Borders barley, mineral-rich water and traditional copper stills come together to create the spirit that will one day become Scotch whisky. The experience offers a deeper understanding of the skill, patience and precision that goes into every drop we make.

Limited availability – w/c 4th May & w/c 24th August
