An amazing distillery true to their vision, producing quality handcrafted spirits in an idyllic setting. I was lucky enough to have been gifted the Alchemist Academy Private Cask Experience, for my 40th from my lovely wife. I couldnât recommend it more, if you fancy a wee dram and want to learn how this sweet nectar of the Godâs is made! Sarah and Mattâs passion for their Spiritâs and Distillery is evident with every step through the incredible facility they have made.

If I did drink, I'd drink theirs. The love they put into it is very impressive, and the owners have great stories to tell, very inspiring. I haven't drunk a lot of spirits in my life, but I was impressed by the variety of flavours and smells. High-quality stuff!
