The Borders Distillery is a relatively new venture, established as the first distillery in the Scottish Borders in over 180 years. Located in Hawick, the distillery occupies a sympathetically renovated historic building, blending industrial heritage with modern distilling techniques. Currently, the distillery produces Kerr's Gin and vodka, with single malt whisky maturing and expected to be available in the future. Tours are available, providing insight into the distilling process and the distillery's ethos. The distillery emphasizes its commitment to local employment, sustainable practices, and the revitalization of the Borders region.
The distillery is best suited for adults interested in spirits, particularly gin and whisky. It's also a good option for those seeking a unique cultural experience and a glimpse into the Scottish Borders region. It appeals to those who appreciate craftsmanship, sustainability, and local businesses.
Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather and fewer tourists than the peak summer months.
Weekdays are typically less busy than weekends. Mid-morning or early afternoon are generally good times to visit, avoiding peak crowds.
The distillery is located in a renovated building, and accessibility features may vary. It's advisable to contact the distillery directly to confirm specific accessibility needs. The visitor center is generally accessible, but some areas of the tour may involve stairs.
While the distillery tour is geared towards adults, children are generally welcome to visit the visitor center and shop. There is limited specific entertainment for children, and the tour content may not be suitable for younger visitors. Stroller access may be limited in some areas.
Pets are generally not allowed inside the distillery building, but may be permitted in the outdoor areas. It's best to check with the distillery in advance.
The distillery itself does not have a cafe or restaurant, but there are cafes and restaurants located nearby in Hawick. Restrooms are available onsite.
