Background
History
Under the ownership of Mark Tayburn, the distillery commenced production in September 2008. The distillery was built in a former salmon hatchery (and some of the pens are still in use producing fish). The still house is a new building and incorporates titled still heads in an unusual design modelled on former illicit stills in the area The distillery uses water from nearby Loch Raonasgail via the Abhainn Dearg. The first whisky was released in 2011 and was named the "Spirit of Lewis".
