Deerness Distillery, Orkney’s first whisky producer to open in 138 years, is about to begin a sale of 200 casks of its inaugural release single malt.

Starting at midday today, this exclusive sale of a limited number of casks is expected to draw interest from buyers worldwide. Once filled, the casks will contain Deerness’ moderately-peated style new make.

Family owned and operated, the distillery has already made a name for itself with the Sea Glass Gin and remains committed to its community roots, having been designed by Stuart Brown, a chartered engineer, and built with the help of his wife Adelle, family and friends.
