Found the tour of this young distillery really interesting. Exciting to hear what they have done until now and where they are going next. The bar area with views of the water is a beautiful spot to enjoy sampling their range. Very much enjoyed the selection of gins and mixer recommendations. Found it hard choosing which one to take home but a bottle of the Navy Strength won in the end. Will be back on our next visit to Orkney.

This was one of the absolute best visits ever. I want to thank Tony, Stephen and Steven for a great day. I was able to spend the whole day with them working in the distillery. I learned so much and had a wonderful time with them. Thank you so very much. The whisky is great and the people even better.

As a gin lover I booked a tour with my husband. We visited off-season mid-April, so it was only the two of us, but we did not get disappointed. The owner Stephen warmly welcomed us and took so much effort and time to show us around. It made our day.
They sell a distinctive selection of gins, there is something for every taste. I liked that there is a story behind every gin and their names. My husband usually doesn't like gin and prefers whisky but he enjoyed the ones from Kirkjuvagr. Highly recommended!

Popped in here after a long walk with the dogs twice. A lovely bright space to chill and watch the world go by. Dogs were made very welcome. Hannah and Owen are super.
