Barra has given us so much, and our ambition is to give something lasting back, a whisky the island can be proud of.
Inspired by the sea, the air and the people of our island home, everything we do at the Isle of Barra Distillers is shaped by place and purpose.
Barra has given us so much, and our ambition is to give something lasting back, a whisky the island can be proud of.
We are now bringing that vision to life with a new, purpose-built Whisky and Gin Distillery and Visitor Centre on Barra, the island’s first single malt whisky distillery.
Work began on site in late 2024, marking a major milestone for our team and everyone who has supported us along the way. The first phase of construction is now complete, laying the foundations for what comes next.
As the distillery takes shape, it will house a one-tonne single malt installation alongside our existing gin still, Ada. Once operational, we expect to fill around 1,400 casks each year, laying down the foundations for future Isle of Barra whiskies.
Alongside whisky production, the distillery will include bonded warehousing, bottling facilities and a welcoming visitor centre with retail and café/bar space.
Designed for locals and visitors alike, it will be a welcome space to connect with our story, in a setting shaped by the sea, and the land around us.
Whisky is never rushed.
Here on Barra, it will be shaped not only by time, but by the rhythm of the tides and the character of the island itself. As our casks rest and mature, they will be influenced by sea air, changing seasons and the environment that surrounds us.
What we are building is more than a distillery. It is a long-term commitment to craft, patience and place; something for the community that will grow and evolve for generations to come.
CRAFTED WITH CARE, DISTILLED WITH PASSION
