North Uist Distillery | Certified B-Corp

A very warm welcome from North Uist Distillery Co, thanks for visiting. Our family run distillery in the Outer Hebrides produces some of Scotland’s very finest artisan spirits including the multi award winning Downpour Gin range and our soon to launch Nunton Whisky. Thanks for joining us on our journey, you are most welcome & it’s very good to have you here. Our flagship Downpour Scottish Dry Gin is bursting with botanicals, drenching you in big bold flavours you can taste in every drop. Citrus, spice and a punch of wild Hebridean heather. We started North Uist Distillery in 2019, the result of a long held dream to build a vibrant new distillery on our island home. As islanders, both of our families have long held ties to the area - earning a living from both land & sea. We wanted to honour this proud tradition whilst also creating something exciting and new, looking for a way that we could create new employment opportunities, attract more visitors to the Outer Hebrides and bring back Whisky production to the place we both were born. Everything we do at North Uist Distillery Co. is inspired by our beautiful island surroundings. A keen surfer, one of Jonny’s main driving forces for running his own business was to be able to take a break and go surfing whenever the waves are good. For me (hello, I’m Kate) I love nothing more than diving into the sea for some open water swimming - the perfect way to blast the cobwebs away. Having both grown up on the island we know that our surroundings are important. For us, it’s all about making a good life for yourself and for others too and that’s exactly what we aim to do here. That’s why people are such a big part of our story and integral to all that we do. The humble & hard working nature of island life inspires us to be the best in all that we do while never forgetting to enjoy the journey along the way.
