Beinn an Tuirc Distillers Ltd was founded in 2016 on the Torrisdale Castle Estate by brothers Niall and Kenny Macalister Hall and Niall's wife Emma.
From the outset, sustainability has been at the heart of the business. The gin distillery is powered by its own hydro-electricity and the water for the spirits comes from the eponymous hill, 'Beinn an Tuirc', which translates from Gaelic as 'The Hill of the Wild Boar' and is the highest point in Kintyre, located above our distillery building. Various projects are also maintained to offset the carbon emissions generated by the processes and distribution.
The first bottle of Kintyre Gin rolled off the production line in 2017. Since then, a number of other artisan spirits have been added to the range, and a distillery shop has been opened, which also offers regular tours. Another important goal is to attract more visitors to the remote and lesser-known part of Scotland, which benefits not only the distillery but also many other local businesses.
