Orkney Distilling was formed in 2016 by local couple, Stephen & Aly Kemp, who sought a way of combining their passion for gin with their pride in their Orcadian heritage. The Orkney distillery & visitor centre was opened in July of 2018, on the historic harbour-front of Orkney’s ancient capital, Kirkwall. We currently have 5 distilled gins on the market, newly launched in a bespoke bottle design that are embellished with several nods to our company’s Norse heritage.
