WS:00 New Make Spirit

Made from Scottish Borders barley – every grain grown within 35 miles of the distillery, our New Make Spirit is the building block of everything we do. This spirit is what we distill in-house every day, running straight from the stills and into our casks. It will one day transform into our own Single Malt – the first to leave the Scottish Borders since 1837. We keep some behind to bottle on site, so you can enjoy our award-winning New Make at home.

Serve me with

  • 25ml of New Make Spirit
  • Soda Water
  • Ice
  • Garnish with slices of juicy apple

WS:01 Borders Malt & Rye

In 2019, we distilled a small batch of rye spirit and matured it in the same fresh-fill bourbon casks as the malt, to create this remarkable and aromatic whisky. This is the first Blended Scotch Whisky to leave the Scottish Borders in 185 years, and the first expression of the Workshop Series from the Borders Distillery.

Serve me with

  • 50ml of Borders Malt & Rye
  • 1 part Lemonade
  • 1 part Ginger Beer
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves

WS:02 The Long & Short of it

For our latest release in the series, our distillers played with time in the Wash House to produce something we’re really excited about. The result; a blend that gives you short bursts of flavour, and long moments to savour. The Long & Short of it is about enjoying your whisky, your way – be that long or short!

Serve me with

  • 50ml Long & Short
  • 25ml lemon juice
  • 10ml syrup
  • Soda
  • Ice
  • Lemon twist to garnish
