Durham Distillery

There are literally thousands of whiskies out there, many produced bymour neighbours over the border. So it is important to be different and stand out from the crowd. County Durham is a place with real independence of spirit, it is this individuality that we wish to reflect in our single malt whisky. Our single malt will be the first produced in the North East, something of which we’re extremely proud.

Of course, we will need to be patient to discover precisely the kind of whisky we produce. By law, whisky isn’t whisky until 3 years and a day has elapsed. Prior to this, it is merely a spirit. However, we fully expect it to fulfil our vision for our showcase single malt. Which is to broaden the appeal and reach of our whisky. Making it more accessible to a wider market; a wider more youthful, contemporary taste. You’ll find our single malt will be lighter, softer, and smoother, less smokey, and less peaty than many whiskies. Edging nearer to the Scandinavian, Japanese flavour profiles than Scotch whisky or Irish whiskey.
