Learn more about Belgrove Distillery

One of the most distinguishing features of Belgrove Distillery is its commitment to using locally sourced and homegrown ingredients. They take the “farm-to-table” concept to a new level by cultivating their own rye on the farm. This hands-on approach allows them complete control over the quality of the grains, ensuring that only the finest rye makes its way into their whisky production.

But it doesn’t stop there. The distillery’s ingenuity truly shines through in their innovative distillation process. They have gone to great lengths to construct their own stills, a testament to their dedication to craft and sustainability. What makes these stills even more fascinating is that they are directly fired using used chip fryer oil. This ingenious cooking oil recycling reduces waste and adds a unique touch to the distillation process, imparting subtle flavours that can’t be achieved through conventional means.

At the heart of the distillery’s output is the whisky that emerges from this remarkable journey. Each drop is a testament to their commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. It embodies the spirit of the land, the rye fields, the recycled chip fryer oil, and the passion of its creator.
