3 September 2022 (10:00 - 10:45) Scottish Borders In Person Our distillery
opened in March 2018 – the first Scotch Whisky distillery in the Scottish
Borders since 1837. We’re dedicated to capturing the true spirit of the
Borders, and bringing whisky-making back to the region. Our hometown of Hawick
has a famous history of manufacturing – it’s where cashmere is king and where
tweed was invented. There is a spirit of invention and enterprise in the town
that inspires us in everything we do. The distillery’s founders have a keen
sense of environmental and social responsibility, and wanted to support
regeneration efforts in our corner of rural Scotland. Rather than erect a
soulless new-build on the town’s outskirts, they chose to invest in
refurbishing an existing building in the heart of the town, creating
employment opportunities and a tourist attraction. The distillery is an award-
winning conversion of Hawick’s former electrical works, a prominent landmark
in the town since 1903. Thousands of visitors tour the distillery every year,
enjoying the sunny and airy feel beneath the glass roofs of our Mash and Still
Houses. Discover the true spirit of the Borders on a tour of The Borders
Distillery at 10am. Our team of distillers will walk you through the renovated
building, and reveal the workings of Borders whisky. Finish your tour with a
sampling of our spirit in the Tait Gallery bar, and pick up some Borders
souvenirs in our gift shop. Facilities Disabled Access Disabled WC WC Parking
Booking required. To book, please call the distillery on 01450
