From our family home in Portree on the Isle of Skye, we have created a range of spirits which we are proud to call our own. Distilling this beautiful craft gin anywhere else but here on Skye was never in question.
Provenance is everything – that abiding sense of belonging and community. Over time, we have perfected our recipe; a marriage of waters from the Storr Lochs and the right balance of the finest botanicals.
It has taken patience and judgement, but some things cannot be rushed.
We have perfected our recipe, a marriage of waters from the Storr Lochs and the right balance of the finest botanicals. When available, our juniper berries are hand-foraged from various wild locations around Skye. Our juniper is then slowly distilled in traditional gas-fired copper pot stills for approximately 8 hours, then vapour infused with our botanicals.
We use 11 botanicals in total including; Juniper, coriander, grains of paradise, orris root, liquorice root, black cubebs, lemon peel, cassia bark to name some and one which is top secret and only comes from the Isle of Skye and grown at altitude! Most of our botanicals are sourced within an ¼ mile of the distillery.
Our new bottle captures our iconic island, culture and heritage. The swirls for the Fairy Pools, the copper coin in the cork for our beautiful copper stills that produce our amazing liquids, the Gaelic inscriptions for our language, name and location, the shape of our majestic island of Skye on the base and the contour lines on the labels for our iconic mountains. The glass has everything captured to show the world our iconic island and home.
Our premium gin, enjoying notes of citrus and floral juniper with an undertone of spice. We recommend enjoying Misty Isle with a premium Scottish tonic, lots of ice, and garnished with a twist of fresh orange peel. This will help to enhance the citrus taste.
This fruity ‘Old Tom’ is full of flavour and packed with fruit including pears, blackcurrants, meadowsweet and raspberries which have all been grown in our distillery garden.
Our Salty & Sweet gin, showcases a perfect balance of botanicals from in and around Portree. The provenance of the ingredients is crucial to this superb and unique gin which has a sharp saltiness in the aftertaste.
Misty Isle Vodka is a great example of a wheat vodka, triple distilled with ample depth, balance and character. On the nose white fruit, lemon and vanilla. The palate is smooth and refined, with grainy sweetness fruit flavours of plum and elderflower.
This small batch full rich liqueur is bursting with natural flavours!! We marry the honeyberries home- grown in our garden, with the award-winning Misty Isle Classically aromatic gin and we leave to distil for a whole month. We hand forage wild elderflower from remote locations on Skye and then add to the Honeyberry’s for a further 48 Hours.
Perfect as a mix with with Prosecco or Champagne.
We are currently in production of our first small batch Island Spiced Rum. Using a family recipe that has been passed down to us, premium white rum will be delicately blended and infused with a number of specially selected spices and botanicals, some of which are grown on the Isle of Skye. We are currently installing the first Rum stills on the Island and production starts in Autumn 2024.
We contract distil for many hospitality businesses and wedding planners, on and off the island. We have small copper stills and bottling facilities to create your own unique branded gin. The Sonas Collection, which has hotels in Oban and Skye, is a great partnership example, where we carefully crafted a distinctive gin inspired by the beautiful landscape surrounding the hotels. We even used botanicals grown in the Hotel gardens. We can create bespoke miniatures that can go in every guest room.
Why not ask us about a unique gin/miniatures for your wedding? We can even bespoke labels with your names. A unique experience for your guests!
