You might have noticed an increase in whisky news from us lately, and it’s just the beginning as we make strides into what is going to to be a very big year for us here at the distillery. While we await the start of construction works at Nunton, Jonny is just back from an educational jaunt to another beautiful Hebridean island, where he was learning some tricks of the trade from our friends at the fantastic Kilchoman Distillery in Islay.

Kilchoman is one of the few Scottish whisky distilleries producing field to bottle whiskies, with barley grown and traditionally floor malted on the island. It was fantastic to learn from such skilled distillers and get some insights into the process that will be the backbone of our own Nunton Whisky.

Over on the mainland our much awaited stills, tanks and tuns are almost ready to set sail for Uist, and knowing how excited we are about it, the team at Forsyths have very kindly been keeping us in the loop with updates and photos of their progress. Time to start stocking up on Brasso and working on those polishing muscles before these beauties arrive in the spring!
