Our Awards
Handcrafted with Love
Our Orcadian multi-award winning spirits and liqueurs are truly unique, carefully crafted from start to finish at our distillery.
From our self-built distillery in the beautiful Orkney Islands, established in 2016 as a spirits distillery to produce gin, vodka, whisky and liqueurs. We produce our truly unique products for your pleasure and sensory experience. We are proud that our handcrafted ethos flows throughout our entire process; from the original eye catching lino cut labels and creating our recipes to the distilling, bottling and labelling of our artisan drinks.

Petite distillerie qui vaut le détour !
Super accueil, des explications de qualité et une dégustation très appréciée. Je regrette de ne pas avoir acheté plus de bouteilles !! Je reviendrai.

We bought a hamper online as a gift, which was delivered to the recipient. Perfect gift and service!

Ordering online from Deerness is really good. I only ordered the gin 4 days ago, and yesterday my order arrived. Very well packaged. Looking forward to tasting for the first time.

Super nice family business led by owner, Stuart who moved to Orkney to start this distillery with his wife, Adelle. Very high quality gin, vodka and coffee liqueur products made right on site -- they even seal with wax! Several package size options to sip on your trip or fit in your luggage. Expanding with new innovative products including barrel aged whiskies. Not to be missed on your Orkney trip -- definitely recommended and if you see Stuart or Adele, say 'hi!" And please buy their products in your Scottish or UK package store -- it's great stuff!

Nearly missed this as only a small sign on roadside but popped in and had friendly welcome and the chance to taste the gins to see if you like them. Has a small shop and local items as well as the gin for sale.
Kevin Boak
Lots of enthusiasm and dedication to create interesting new gins. Good shop with range of gins and souvenirs. Well worth a visit.
Stewart Kirkley
Amazing hospitality and fantastic wee shop. We popped in having walked around Mull Head. We were met with friendly smiling faces and a relaxed introduction to all 3 stills (Walt, Zing and Matilda) and all the delicious offerings they produce. Having settled on the Scuttled and the Orcadian Moon Coffee liquor we then had to get smaller 20cl bottle sets for family Christmas presents! 12 bottles of heavier and a delicious lemon curd ice cream in hand we left very happy customers.
Plus Friday is tasting day... So we even got a sneaky wee taste of a pink gin yet to be released we can wait to get a full bottle of!
The shop has lots on offer aside from gin, lots of local crafts and art along with t shirts and glasses etc.
I'd thoroughly recommend popping in to say hi and have a look around this Orcadian gem.

Cute little shop. Their coffee liqueur was the best we've ever tasted
Flora Duff
Delicious coffee liqueur and very friendly and knowledgeable staff 🥂
We are so proud of the awards we have received since we launched our signature gin ‘Sea Glass Gin’ and the most Northerly vodka ‘Into The Wild Vodka’ in the Spring of 2017. Why not experience them for yourself!
Local and Ethical
Situated off the north coast of Scotland the Orkney Islands with their rugged cliffs sit dramatically in the (occasionally!) stormy Atlantic Sea.
Our labels are designed to reflect the rich variety of sea and landscapes of the Islands and that which surrounds our distillery itself.
From our small, family-run business we hope to share with you our Orcadian artisan drinks, so you can experience a taste of Orkney yourself.
