Half way between Edinburgh and Glasgow, Falkirk rests in the industrial heartland of Scotland, a place embodied with grit and determination.  The town’s role is echoed in its surviving historic buildings and local folklore.  It is a unique place with a strong sense of belonging and community identity.

The Coat of Arms of the Burgh of Falkirk mottos: ‘Better Meddle wi’ the De’il than the Bairns o ‘ Fa’kirk’ and “Touch ane, touch a’. 

The historic site of the distillery is bounded by the Antonine Wall, which is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and World Heritage Site. To the west of the distillery, stands proud Mumrills Fort a place where it is argued that the Battle of Falkirk took place.  The epic build of the distillery compliments these invaluable assets and through time will become recognised as a place of exceptional Lowland Malt.

The distillation process is a fine marriage between the old and the new; our two impressive Speyside copper stills and 4.5 tonne traditional copper mash tun have been married with our 34,000 litre fermentators, spirit safe and state of the art Buhler Malt intake.  A heady mixture of both geography and age, with the finest raw ingredients kindly nurtured to produce the most ‘exceptional new make spirit’.
