Dunnet Bay Distillers Press and Awards

We are Dunnet Bay Distillers. Unsurprisingly we are located in the spectacular bay of Dunnet, where the freshest of air and the finest of water are in abundance. Our goal is to create spirits which reflect the Caithness way. We hand distil slowly, thoughtfully and passionately to create our exceptional products.

An independent family-owned company founded in 2013 by Martin and Claire Murray.

Distillers of Exceptional Spirits – it’s in our nature

Shop

Our online shop remains OPEN!

We are continuing to send out parcels of joy, but please be aware these may take day a day or two longer to arrive with you. Martin is manning the distillery all on his lonesome and he can only box up so many orders in a day – despite how much Claire prods him! We are also trying to do our tiny wee bit to help and have provided our local surgeries and carers with free hand sanitiser during the shortages.

As always, FREE POSTAGE for orders over £50!
