Sustainable Since Day One
Arbikie Distillery is a genuine field to bottle operation, with every stage happening on-site - so the evocative taste of our unique environment survives every step from soil to spirit.
We grow our own crops. We're expanding our use of solar energy. Where possible, our primary waste products go back into the land - recycled as cattle feed or natural fertiliser. And because distilling happens right where the grain is grown, the whole process runs on negligible food miles, start to finish.
A Distillery Powered by the Future
Steam is the invisible engine behind every whisky ever made - and for most distilleries, it still comes from burning fossil fuels. We wanted to break that link entirely.
With our new green hydrogen electrolyzer, Arbikie is set to become the world's first climate-positive distillery. The technology lets us generate the steam distilling depends on with zero carbon emissions at the point of combustion - without changing a single thing about how the spirit itself is made. Same whisky, same process, radically different footprint.
