For over two decades, we had a vision. A vision to create the finest sustainable, artisan and, most importantly, delicious craft beers and whiskies.

Fueled by the flourishing rise of craft brewing and distilling movements of the ‘90s and noughties, our vision finally came to life in 2023 when we opened the doors at the Uile-bheist Distillery. Nestled directly on the banks of the River Ness, our distillery site holds great significance as the birthplace of the mythical legend, Loch Ness Monster (Uile-bheist Loch Ness).

It is here that the first recorded sighting of this infamous beast took place. Legend says that in 565 AD, Saint Columba banished a ‘Water monster’ back into the river, where he saw him attacking one of his disciples. Celebrating this, we wanted Uile-bheist to be a distillery that would protect the landscape that Scotland’s greatest myths and legends live on. By building a sustainable energy centre, our ‘brewstillery’ has been described as ‘exemplary’ in its practices.
