Dornoch Distillery

About

The Dornoch Distillery was founded by brothers Simon and Philip Thompson who are well known for the running of the family owned Dornoch Castle Hotel, located in the Scottish Highlands. The brothers ran the well respected Whisky Bar which specialises in old, rare and unique whiskies at fair prices. After gaining a reputation as being one of the best whisky hotels in the world the brothers decided to put their combined knowledge and experience in the whisky industry into practice and start a crowdfunding campaign to help make their dream a reality. Dornoch Distillery's crowdfunding campaign went live in March 2016 and was extremely successful and reached it's goal within weeks. The crowdfunding gained interest from all over the world with many investors from mainland Europe, East Asia and USA. Works began in 2016 to renovate the 19th century fire station into a micro distillery that houses two direct gas fired pot stills, a pot column still, wooden washbacks and a mashtun.
