About Rhidorroch Distillery Limited

Located on the North West Coast of Scotland Rhidorroch Distillery began with a girl, a shed and a beautiful glen. A pony trekking shed no longer in use was the foundation of the distillery and with some wood work, new fittings and a bit of time it became the perfect home for Rhidorroch Distillery. The distillery sits on the edge of a loch, in the middle of the glen, a tranquil place surrounded by hills which are home to an abundance of wild plants and animals. Loch Achall is the heart of the glen and its beating river flows west towards Ullapool. On its way the stunningly crystal cold water winds alongside the distillery and is used in the gin production. The loch's surrounding hills are home to an array of wildlife from furry animals to succulent plants. Botanicals such as gorse flower, heather, rowan berries and a little juniper are handpicked and they are what gives the gin its floral and citrus flavour. Bea is the pot bellied copper still, named after the distiller’s sister’s gorgeous collie. She has two important jobs (apart from looking pretty), she is in charge of creating a fantastic gin by boiling the neutral spirit with the dried botanicals in that belly of hers. She also distills the loch's water, purifying it before it is added into the spirit to create Loch Achall Gin. Our small distillery maintains the family ethos, working side by side with the land to create carefully crafted, small batch Highland spirits.
