Moffat Distillery

About Moffat Distillery

Nestled in the Southern Uplands just outside Moffat, Moffat Distillery offers a truly distinctive visitor experience in one of southern Scotland’s most scenic landscapes. Family owned and operated, we are proud to be Scotland’s first wood-fired distillery, crafting spirits in small batches using traditional methods and locally sourced wood.

Conveniently located just off Junction 15 of the M74, around an hour from Glasgow, Edinburgh and Carlisle, the distillery is only a mile from Moffat town centre and easy to reach on foot, by bike or by car.

All production takes place on-site, from mashing and fermentation to distilling, blending, bottling and recipe creation. Visitors can step behind the scenes on guided tours and tastings, including our Signature Tour, an immersive introduction to our wood-fired whisky and gin-making process. Alongside our spirits, we are proud winners of several Great Taste Awards and a Gold medal at the International Wine and Spirit Competition for our Moffat Moonshine.

Our welcoming visitor centre offers locally roasted coffee, home baking, cocktails and a relaxed bar space. Set within 17 acres of land, with 15 acres currently being rewilded in partnership with local nature restoration groups, it’s a place to slow down and enjoy the surroundings.

We also host monthly sauna sessions, community events, specialty tours, and bespoke experiences for groups of up to 22 people.

Open March–December: Mon–Sat 10am–5pm, Sun 12pm–4pm. January/February only pre-booked tours available online.
