AUTHENTIC
SUSTAINABLE SINCE DAY ONE
Arbikie Distillery is a genuine field to bottle operation. We create everything on-site, retaining the evocative taste of our unique environment at every step.
We grow our own crops, use our own water and grow our own juniper & botanicals. We are expanding our use of solar energy. Our primary waste products, where possible, are recycled as cattle feed or used as a natural fertiliser. Our distilling from start to finish uses negligible ‘food miles’ for its production.
Since our opening in 2014, have established juniper plantations across our estate, planting approximately 1000 plants a year. Juniper is not only critical to gin production, but the majority of the UK's juniper species is currently under threat from a pathogen, so we decided we simply had to try and help.
INNOVATIVE
THE WORLDS FIRST CLIMATE POSITIVE SPIRITS
Meaning 'nature' in Gaelic, our revolutionary Nàdar duo harness the power of nature and science to create the world's first climate positive spirits, made from the most innovative and surprising ingredient - the humble pea. With a carbon footprint of -1.54kg CO2e per 700ml bottle of gin and - >1.53kg CO2e per 700ml bottle of vodka, Nàdar is at the forefront of fighting climate change and biodiversity loss, avoiding more carbon emissions than it
produces.
At Arbikie, we make our own base spirit, which means that we have direct control over the crops we use to make our spirits. After years of study by our Master Distiller, Kirsty Black, we concluded that peas were an ideal choice for the planet as the pea crop requires no nitrogen fertiliser. Revolution should also taste great and these climate positive spirits do not disappoint.
ALL OF THE TASTE, NONE OF THE IMPACT.
SUSTAINABILITY
GREEN HYDROGEN ENERGY
A Distillery Powered by the Future
Here at Arbikie we do things differently. Steam is a crucial part of the distilling process and usually derived from unsustainable methods such as fossil fuels. With the introduction of our new green hydrogen electrolyser Arbikie will become the world’s first climate positive distillery. The technology involves no alteration to the spirit making process whilst producing zero carbon emissions at combustion. We are currently installing this to maintain our momentum to being one of the world’s most sustainable distilleries.
