Saxa Vord Distillery is situated in the remote Shetland Islands of Scotland, specifically in the village of Haroldswick on Unst, the northernmost inhabited island in the UK. Established in 2013 by founders Frank and Debbie Strang along with Stuart and Wilma Nickerson, the distillery reflects a commitment to crafting unique spirits in a stunning, isolated landscape. The ownership remains with the original founders, who have maintained a strong connection to the local community and heritage. The distillery operates with a modest production capacity, utilizing traditional copper pot stills and a combination of modern and time-honored techniques. This results in an intriguing whisky character that often showcases the influence of the maritime climate, with a profile marked by briny notes, gentle sweetness, and a complexity that evolves with each sip. Visitors can explore the distillery and learn about the artisanal approach to whisky-making, with notable expressions that highlight the distinctiveness of Shetland's natural resources.
