8 Doors Distillery

Highland – Caithness & Sutherland

8 Doors Distillery in John O'Groats was established in 2022 by husband and wife Derek and Kerry Campbell, and is the most northerly distillery on the UK mainland. The distillery is producing the first Single Malt Scotch Whisky in that area since 1837. His Majesty, The King, officially opened the distillery on 2^nd August 2023.

Whilst the team wait for their own Single malt to mature, they have released a range of independent small batch and single cask whisky bottlings under the brand name of 'Seven Sons'. The distillery has just also released its blended liqueur product called “Five Ways” - a smooth liqueur made with blended scotch whisky, hints of ginger, honey, orange and spices. Both products are available to buy in the Distillery’s shop. The shop is in the distillery’s whisky lounge which is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a dram or coffee with a view. 

For Doors Open Days visitors can take a mini tour of the distillery and warehouse where they can get an introduction to the distillation process and see where our casks are stored for maturation. The tour lasts approx. 30 minutes. No tasting included. Over 18’s Only. Max 10 people per booking slot.

Tours available at 11am, 12pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, both days.
