North British Distillery

North British Distillery, founded in 1885 by Andrew Usher, John M. Crabbie, and William Sanderson, is a historic Lowland whisky distillery located in the Gorgie area of Edinburgh, Scotland. Established to ensure a steady supply of grain whisky for cordials and Scotch blends, the distillery features four Coffey stills producing grain spirit at 94.5% ABV with multi-million litres annually. Most whisky matures in central Lowland racked warehouses, while select casks age for at least eight years in Dunnage Warehouse No.1. Although official releases are limited, exceptional single malts are available through independent bottlers like Hart Brothers and Hunter Laing. North British Distillery remains a cornerstone of Scotland’s esteemed whisky industry, celebrated for its quality and tradition.
