In rural Angus, in Scotland’s northeast, the Stirling brothers - John, Iain, and David – decided to add value to their cereal crops by creating the Arbikie Distillery. Using rye, wheat and barley to make their Highland Rye Whiskies, they produced first Rye Scotch in Scotland in over one hundred years.
Since then, they have further diversified into gin and vodka production. They created Nadar, Gaelic for nature, using their farm-grown peas to create the world’s first climate-positive spirits.
Their innovation doesn’t stop there. They also use their own farm-grown botanicals, and farm-made honey as flavourings. The nutrient-rich by-products even get turned back into animal feed.
Today, as well as marketing their award-winning spirits around the world, they run popular farm/distillery tours.
