Spontaneous, self-sufficient, and with a little spirit thrown in for good measure, that’s Stuart and Adelle Brown, founders of Deerness Distillery – Orkney’s first distillery for over 130 years. It is here that they produce their multi-award winning ‘Sea Glass Gin’, ‘Scuttled Gin’, Vara Gin and the UK's most Northerly distilled vodka, ‘Into the Wild’. Add into the mix a multi-award winning coffee liqueur 'Orcadian Moon' and they offer something to suit everyone!

From their purpose-built distillery established in 2016, at the side of their home in Deerness, Orkney, their signature spirits 'Sea Glass Gin' and 'Into the Wild Vodka' were launched back in May 2017, after a year of construction and product development. The distillery boasts a beautiful shop to browse and you are welcome to free tastings of their full range.

The Dashing Deer Kitchen & Bar opened for business in September 2024 offering lunches, light bites and refreshments. The new build also includes the whisky still room and cask storage building. The first make whisky is planned for October / November 2024

Deerness Distillery spirits are a must try (and visit if you can!) if you’re looking for an exclusive multi-award winning premium gin, vodka or coffee liqueur whilst visiting Orkney.
