North Uist Distillery

We had a great time, Rona was a great host and explained the whole process to us novices! Her passion and belief in the company was clear and we learnt a great deal. The gin tasting was also a lovely treat, who knew so many interesting botanicals went in? Still think Christmas curry could take off! Thanks so much for having us. James loves his hoody too- his prize for being designated driver! 😂😊🍸

A fairly new distillery, with delicious gins. The tour of the renovated listed buildings was fascinating. After the tour, we had a tasting of all five of their available gins, with an exploring of the botanicals that give each their unique flavor. The distillery has just casked their first whisky, so it'll be a few years until that is available. But we were able to see the entire process of distilling and aging on site. (A malting shed is scheduled to be built as well ) Impressive operation with knowledgeable guides. If you're visiting the Outer Hebrides, well worth a visit.

I am unable to review the taste as it’s a gift for a family member this christmas, however I have never seen such a well and professionally packaged bottle, it’s been pre gift wrapped and in a funky protective sleeve for the bottle. And the hand written thank you card was just the cherry on top! I’m a bit jealous now and will probably be ordering some for myself very soon! I did have to take a peek and the bottle is just absolutely gorgeous and very clearly well made!

Several years after stumbling across this wonderful distillery on a holiday to the Outer Hebrides, I bought myself a bottle by mail order to remind myself just how stunning and unique this gin really is. In a spirit world (no, not that kind of spirit world) so caught up in fancy colours & silly names, flavours and labels, it's hard to think that anyone could come up with anything genuine and different. But Downpour hits the spot - unique aromatics; a powerful kick; and yes, OK, some pretty nifty marketing as well. An inspiring gin from a genuinely passionate team - right down to the hand written thank you note tucked into the packaging. I can't wait until your whisky - the dream that started all this - is finally ready to savour.

Great experience at the gin tasting. Lovely gins, can't wait to try the whisky! Gin tasting great value at £25 to try all 4 gins, and a small measure of negroni. Highly recommended

Brilliant experience - great to hear about the history of the building and the new products. The tasting was great. I'm usually a fruity gin girl and although the grapefruit and sloe gins were delicious, I was blown away by the flavours in the original gin. So often I find a gin's botanical flavours get diluted by the ice and tonic - not with this one!

I order this bag just a few days ago and it arrived quickly. I love it. The material is thick which is a plus, and the little note that arrived with it was so nice. No gin bought this time, but I have to say the gin is yummy. Thank you Downpour

The pink grapefruit and the blue bottle downpour have to be the best gin I’ve tasted. I did a tasting when I visited friends there in June. Wish you shipped to the US!
