Falkirk Distillery

Falkirk Distillery was established close to the M9 motorway by local businessman George Stewart and his family and was designed in imposing traditional Scottish distillery style. In order to create a connection with whisky-making heritage, a copper-topped ‘rake and plough’ mash tun formerly used in the now demolished Caperdonich distillery on Speyside was installed, along with a pair of veteran Caperdonich stills. The spirit being made is classic Lowland in style – clean and light, and most is being filled into first-fill bourbon casks, along with some first-fill oloroso sherry casks.
