Our distillery is perched atop high ground on the southern edge of Kirkwall, and stands watch over the town. As well as a collection of ancient stone buildings, we have 23 warehouses, and 2 pagoda-topped kilns. For over 220 years, our distillery sat stoically through long winters, raging storms and 100mph winds. It all makes for more harmonious whisky. In our pursuit for VIKING HARMONY, we've stuck to the same 5 keystones of production since 1798. Each requires fierce dedication, hard work and skill.
