Whisky distilled in Stirling for first time since 1852

Scotch whisky is being distilled in Stirling for the first time in 171 years, it was announced this morning.

Stirling Distillery has started production of its own new-make whisky, marking the first time the spirit has been produced in the city since 1852.

The distillery, which is based in the shadow of Stirling Castle, initially focused solely on gin when it opened in 2019, with the intention of moving slowly into whisky as the business grew. Since opening it has won numerous awards as a visitor attraction and for its range of gins.
