Discover the spirit of the borders
Welcome to The Borders Distillery – the first Scotch whisky distillery in the Scottish Borders since 1837.
The workshop Series
Scotch whiskies created in the spirit of curiosity and innovation, entirely by us in the Borders.
Each release is a bold exploration of flavour, crafted by combining casks and unique distillates. These blends are not about following tradition, but about pushing its boundaries – offering you the chance to experience whisky in a new light.
Whether it’s a surprising twist of sweetness, a layer of spice, or a finish that lingers in unexpected ways, every bottle is an invitation to taste something different, and always boldly blended by the borders.
Kerr’s Gin
Delight in our distinctive gin.
Every drop of Kerr’s Gin is made from Scottish Borders barley, with every grain grown within 35 miles of the distillery. Our long-term partnerships with local farmers give us complete control over the creation of our spirit, from barley to bottle.
Kerr’s is the only Scottish Gin made with malted barley spirit in a Carterhead Still, and we believe you can taste the difference.
Puffing Billy Vodka
Steam smoothed. Never Filtered.
Puffing Billy Steam Vodka is unfiltered malted barley vodka, named for the rare still which plays a key role in its production.
First we pot-distil spirit from locally-grown barley, then we re-distil it into vodka using Puffing Billy, our specially-commissioned Carterhead Still.
