OUR VALUES
We pride ourselves in our values of honesty and integrity. We use the best quality local ingredients to create premium gins and vodka.
WHY ISLE OF SKYE DISTILLERS IS DIFFERENT
Although we wanted to create a premium product using the best quality local ingredients available we’re NOT gin snobs or vodka purists, and we’re not afraid to be different. We like to experiment and have a bit of fun.
We believe that gin and vodka should be enjoyed by everyone, whether you like it neat, on the rocks or in a cocktail.
At the heart of Isle of Skye Distillers is a set of core values that guide everything we do. From the ingredients we use and how our spirits are made to the people we work with and the communities we support, provenance is everything to us.
PROVENANACE
That abiding sense of belonging and community. We’re proud of our Skye heritage and put as much of it as possible into every bottle we produce.
QUALITY
From the sourcing of our botanicals to the way our spirits are distilled, everything we do is focused on quality. We want to make the best-tasting spirits in the world.
SUSTAINABILITY
We’re committed to working sustainably and supporting local communities. Our business is built on a foundation of social and environmental responsibility.
INNOVATION
We’re constantly experimenting and innovating, whether it’s developing new products or finding new ways to make our spirits. We’re always pushing boundaries and looking for ways to improve.

OUR MISSION – OUR PASSION
Our mission is to share the ‘Spirit of Skye’ with the world and create something uniquely special that can be enjoyed by gin enthusiasts and the simple sipper alike. We’re a small team with big ambitions and our passion pushes us to make the best-tasting spirits in the world.
WE LOVE WHAT WE DO
We’re deeply passionate about what we do. We believe that our gin and vodka are some of the best tasting in the world and we’re always exploring new flavour combinations and finding ways to improve our spirits.
WE LOVE WHERE WE LIVE
We feel so fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth – the Isle of Skye. With its stunning scenery, friendly locals and fantastic food and drink scene, it’s the perfect inspiration for our Misty Isle spirits.
WE LOVE A DRINK
It goes without saying that to craft your own premium gin you need to enjoy drinking it. But for us, there’s nothing better than sharing a laugh and a gin with friends and family. Well… not just gin. Being Scots we obviously have a love for Whisky too (but we’re working on that).

Anyone for Vodka?
WE’RE A WEE BIT DIFFERENT
We do things differently on the Isle of Skye. It’s about as far away from the hustle and bustle of city life as you can get. It’s a place where time seems to stand still and the only thing that rushes by is the wind.
This is also reflected in the spirits we produce…
As is the way on the island, we take the time to do every bit of the fine-tuned process by hand. We take a small batch, artisanal, and hands-on approach to everything we do – from croft foraging the local botanicals that go into our spirits, to bottling, labelling and packing each bottle by hand.
Our gins are not mass-produced and churned out by machines. Our Juniper berries are slowly distilled in copper pot stills and are then vapour-infused with carefully selected ingredients. This hand-crafted process gives each batch its’ own unique character and flavour.
We believe this is the only way to create such premium quality spirits whilst retaining that all-important personal touch.
Did you know that each bottle of Misty Isle gin is as unique and different as the gin it embraces? When our bottle is made, the process of creating our twisted top means it picks up a slightly different shape and imperfection when the glass cools.
We believe this makes us, and our spirits, just a wee bit different and special. And who doesn’t like to feel like that?
So next time you’re enjoying a refreshing glass of Misty Isle, take your time to enjoy it. We put a lot of ours into making it.
