A very warm welcome from North Uist DistillerySteeped in Hebridean history, but always forward thinking, our family run distillery in the Outer Hebrides produces some of Scotland’s very finest artisan spirits including the multi award winning Downpour Gin range and our soon to launch Nunton Whisky.

Downpour GinDrenched in island flavour Say hello to Downpour Scottish Dry Gin. Citrus, spice and blossoms of wild Hebridean heather. Our special Scottish Gin is bursting with botanicals, drenching you in big bold flavours you can taste in every drop. Also available in Pink Grapefruit and Sloe and Bramble editions, in our custom designed, environmentally friendly bottle. Nunton Steadings Built way back in the 1700s, the beautifully historic Nunton Steadings building is the place we call home. Situated in Benbecula, right at the heart of island life, it’s where we proudly bring Whisky production back to our islands. Currently under restorations work, our B-listed building is undergoing some loving attention to bring it back to bustling island life.

Lovely gin. We got dates muddled up and and missed our tour! As we could not get on another tour Kate gave us a mini tasting at the bar and refunded our tour fee which we used against our subsequent Downpour purchases!

It was great fun and very interesting. Amy was a delightful host - just the right balance of informative and fun. The gin was delicious - I liked the sloe and bramble best, and it was lovely with the blood orange soda.

I've bought Downpour for a few years now after having had a wonderful short vacation at a beautiful hotel in Inchture. That was where I first tried this Gin and have been extoling its qualiy ever since to my friends. I have also ordered directly from the company and their customer service has been excellent. I plan to visit Uist in the future and the distillery will definitely be on my list of attractions.

Great wee distillery shop with very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The taste of sloe & bramble was amazing...so much so that a full size bottle was ordered that night. Quick delivery along with a card to say thankyou for my order and to enjoy. Perfect!

This was a delightful stop on a journey around the Uists. The staff were so friendly, delighted to show us around a beautiful group of buildings with great plans for the future. We were given samples and happily left having secured a beautiful bottle to be delivered postage paid. Thank you for a lovely experience.
