Dornoch Distillery Company

Dornoch, Highland, Scotland
Find your perfect gin

In 2016 brothers Simon and Philip Thompson decided to turn their passion for Scottish Whisky and Gin into a new business – Dornoch Distillery Company. The brothers began renovating a 19th-century Victorian fire station, part of the Dornoch Castle Hotel located in the Scottish Highlands, with the aim of creating a craft distillery for producing whisky and gin.

Partly self-funded and partly through crowdfunding, this venture was extremely successful and reached its goal within weeks. The crowdfunding gained interest from all over the world, with many investors from mainland Europe, East Asia and the USA. Dornoch Distillery Company produced it’s first set of experimental gins in December 2016 as a thank you to those who helped Dornoch Distillery become a reality.

Thompson Bros Mediterranean Organic Gin

This Mediterranean Gin is non-chill filtered to maintain maximum flavour and texture. The distillery creates single infusions of fresh seasonal citrus and herbs and then these individual components are slowly blended with their base botanical blend (juniper, coriander seed, black peppercorn, dried lime, dried lemon, angelica, cardamom and meadowsweet). These single distillations include lemon peel, orange peel, bergamot, thyme, rosemary and bay leaf. This base blend and fresh infusions are then diluted slowly over a period of two weeks.
