Jackton Distillery (RAER Scotch Whisky Ltd)

Established in 2020, RAER Scotch Whisky Ltd

is an independent, family-owned business,

operating from their base at Jackton Distillery,

nestled in the Scottish Lowlands.

Once the site of the family farm, Jackton Distillery creates a number of premium spirits including a range of unique gins, a characterful Scottish vodka and a collection of premium, cask-finished Blended Scotch Whisky expressions, with their "Inaugural" Single Malt Scotch Whisky patiently resting in their on-site Bonded Warehouse for future release.

The Distillery operates a "grain to glass; seed to sip" ethos, with their own barley fields and on-site water source providing the key ingredients for their whisky production and their malthouse now nearing completion/commissioning. Their barley and water are combined with yeast and fermented for 7 days to create their unique New-Make-Spirit, which is then matured on site in an exquisite selection of casks from every corner of the world. Spent grain from their production feeds the cattle on the now-relocated family farm, bringing the production process full circle.

Complimented by its on-site shop, tasting bar and accommodation, Jackton Distillery will open its doors to the public in August 2024 and aims to be an accessible tourist destination for both locals and tourists alike.

Tarbraxus Distillers Limited – trading as Pentland Hills Gin

Established in 2018 Tarbraxus Distillers

is based in the western end of

the Pentland Hills.

Run by Tabatha, Phil and Panza the Chocolate Labrador the company produces the award-winning Pentland Hills Gin.  The distillery is operated on a 13-acre small holding where some of the botanicals are grown, including Scottish juniper which has been re-established on the land. 

The gin is distilled in very small quantities and all the work is undertaken by Phil and Tabatha. Four gins, Original, Navy, Party and Firework are offered along with a refill service. All the gin bottles are hand etched and individually numbered, this allows them to be returned to the distillery, washed and refilled with the customers choice of gin.

The gin is then either delivered to the local area or returned by Royal Mail.  Clearly size doesn’t matter, Pentland Hills Gin has won and amazing number of awards and we are particularly proud of our Firework edition which was Scottish Gin of the year in 2022 and our Naval Gin which won 3 starts at the UK Great Taste Awards.
