Port of Leith Distillery

A distillery like no other.

The Port Of Leith Distillery is redefining Scotch whisky with an innovative and deeply considered approach from grain to glass. Their philosophy is driven by an unyielding pursuit of perfection, meticulously examining every stage of the production process to create a spirit of unparalleled depth and harmony

Fermentation

At the heart of their unique approach, and arguably their biggest USP, lies their revolutionary fermentation process. Unlike much of the industry that prioritizes alcohol yield, The Port Of Leith Distillery meticulously focuses on flavour generation during fermentation. This dedicated pursuit of flavour complexity from the very outset ensures an incredibly complex, balanced spirit with truly beguiling notes.

Agriculture

Their commitment extends to agriculture, prioritizing the source of their raw materials by sourcing barley from a single, nearby farm, Upper Bolton Farm. This dedication to terroir and sustainable practices minimizes their environmental footprint, ensuring a high-quality grain that contributes significantly to the whisky’s character.

Future

In their maturation division, The Port Of Leith Distillery draws inspiration from Leith’s historical role as Scotland’s gateway for wines and spirits. They uniquely mature their delicate, complex spirit in casks that previously held a diverse range of wines (sherry, port, red, white, and sweet wines), capturing the rich heritage of the harbour and enhancing the whisky’s intricate flavour profile.

Leith Export Co.

Building on the pioneering spirit of The Port Of Leith Distillery, we’re also delighted to highlight Leith Export Company, the dynamic trading arm that embodies their broader vision for exceptional spirits.

Leith Export Company isn’t just about selling; it’s a curated exploration of the finest in whisky and beyond. As the dedicated retail and sales outlet for Port Of Leith Distillery and Lind & Lime Gin, they extend their passion for quality through a meticulously selected range of independent Scottish spirits. We’re particularly excited to bring you one of their unique proprietary brands: Table Whisky.

Table Whisky is a fantastic example of their innovative approach. This single grain Scotch whisky, often showcasing a blend of North British matured in both virgin oak and sherry casks, is crafted to be wonderfully approachable and remarkably versatile. It’s designed to be a whisky for every occasion, perfect for sharing and enjoying, whether neat, with a mixer, or in cocktails. Its accessible yet complex character makes it an ideal addition to any whisky enthusiast’s collection and a perfect representation of Leith Export Company’s commitment to quality and enjoyment.

With their own exclusive ‘Port’ of Leith and Sherries, Leith Export Company also offers exquisite libations that provide a fascinating insight into the very casks that will shape the future of Port Of Leith’s own whisky. Please note, these ‘Port’ of Leith and Sherry bottlings are currently only available in the UK, so we won’t be able to import them to the Dutch market. It’s a testament to their commitment to quality, heritage, and the exciting evolution of the spirits landscape.
