Simon & Phil are now onto their next venture, having successfully developed one of the best Whisky Bars in Scotland they are now putting their vast knowledge and experience to the test and have now successfully built their very own distillery on the grounds of the Dornoch Castle Hotel.
Dornoch Distillery is situated in the old “Fire House” which was built in 1881, situated in the rear of the Castle’s garden. Although the building is a micro-distillery it has plenty of room for the boys to create their own handcrafted ‘old style’ whisky and one shot ‘Thompson Brothers Organic Gin’. The Thompsons Brothers Organic Gin 50cL (45.7%) is available to purchase on Dornoch Distillery website or individual sales from Dornoch Castle Hotel’s Whisky Bar RRP £32.50.
