Arbikie Distillery: Sustainable spirits, from farm to bottle

Located on Scotland’s east coast, Arbikie is a distillery with a difference. Every drop of spirit produced there begins in the fields surrounding the family farm, where the Stirling brothers grow, harvest and distil their own crops. This ‘field-to-bottle’ approach lies at the heart of Arbikie’s philosophy, one rooted in provenance, craft and care for the environment.

That commitment was recently recognised when Arbikie became Scotland’s 100th certified B Corporation, joining a global community of businesses that balance profit with purpose. For the team, this accreditation reflects years of work towards reducing waste, conserving energy and nurturing biodiversity across the estate. It’s a milestone that sets Arbikie apart as one of the most sustainable distilleries operating today.

Sustainability here doesn’t come at the expense of innovation or flavour. Arbikie’s pioneering Nàdar gin and vodka are the world’s first climate-positive spirits, each with a carbon footprint that’s actually below zero. Distilled from homegrown peas, they’re a striking example of how science and sustainability can combine to create something unique and delicious.

The distillery’s flagship Highland Rye Whisky is also making waves. Scotland’s first rye whisky, it’s a single-grain, single-estate whisky that captures the spice and character of the crop grown just outside the still house. Arbikie’s single malt, still maturing, promises to continue this tradition of quality.

From experimental spirits to distinctive whiskies, Arbikie represents a new generation of Scottish distilling, one that looks to the future while staying true to its roots. By keeping everything on the farm, Arbikie offers a rare transparency in how its drinks are made.

Whether you’re discovering Nàdar for the first time or savouring a dram of Highland Rye, each bottle tells the same story: delicious, sustainable spirits.
