Esker Spirits

Après Ski - Party - Chill - Stash - Share

Esker was Aberdeenshire’s first craft distillery, founded by Steve and Lynne Duthie.

We were primarily interested in the distillation process - how do flavours work to complement each other? What makes a good spirit, what makes a great one? In making our own spirits, our concept was simple: we want to create classic spirits with enhanced flavours that are complemented by mixers and garnish, not defined by them.

In 2015 an empty workshop at the bottom of the garden became the first Esker distillery. In late summer 2016, Esker’s popularity meant we needed to expand and the search began for new premises and in early 2017 the distillery moved to the beautiful Kincardine Estate.
