A homage to older style of whisky in the grounds of the Dornoch Castle Hotel
The Dornoch Distillery started production in 2017, using heritage barley, spent brewers yeast and longer fermentation times to develop a whisky style that resembles an older style of whisky and produces a spirit with a greater depth of flavour.
Dornoch Distillery produces approximately 12,000 litres of alcohol a year, making it one of the smallest whisky distilleries in Scotland. Due to the size of the distillery, there are no tours available, but you can see through the red doors during production, and staff are happy to answer questions when they have time.
