the northernmost scotch distillery

Kimbland Distillery is located on Sanday, one of Orkney’s Northern Isles. Our ethos at Kimbland Distillery is all about quality and minimal environmental impact. From seed to bottling, our process is not only environmentally friendly but actually reduces atmospheric carbon.

Kimbland Distillery uses small scale batch production methods together with carefully selected local Orkney Bere Barley to produce a high-quality Scotch single malt whisky. Every stage of our process is uniquely ours, even our yeast has been specially cultivated.  We use state of the art equipment to monitor every stage from brewing to distillation.  Yet in our farming, milling, and malting methods we use traditional farming techniques to ensure the best quality Barley seeds.

All single malt whiskies are made by the same basic process. However, the flavour and character are determined by a variety of influences. Kimbland Distillery uses small scale batch production methods, together with carefully selected local Orkney Bere Barley to produce a high-quality Scotch Single Malt Whisky.
 
Due to the small scale of the distillery, barley is grown on our own land, we then Malt the grain (and smoke it where needed) and taken to the Mill for turning into grist. The process water is sourced from a bore-hole to an ancient aquaphor that feed the two local lochs. The final spirit is then filled into casks at the distillery and placed into the warehouse.
