Whisky of Scotland
Perched on the east coast of Scotland, Arbikie Highland Estate Distillery overlooks the infinite stretch of Lunan Bay and is surrounded by every element needed to produce exceptional whisky. To the east, the sea brings the salt -ladened wind that permiates our whisky casks. To the west, our estate nurtures the crops for distilling. Closeby, the Angus hills filter fresh water into our own underground loch. And of course, from the skies, our dramatic and capricious coastal climate adds its own magic.
Local records show Arbikie as a place of distilling since 1794. During these distant times all ingredients for the pot still would be taken from the immediate surroundings. Spirit distilling was a local craft, with a truly local flavour. It is this approach that inspired our own ethos. Provenance, traceability, authenticity and creativity are at the heart of everything we do.
