⚗️ Benbecula Distillery

Benbecula Distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery at Gramsdale on the Isle of Benbecula, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. Developed in a converted salmon-processing plant, the site produced its first spirit in June 2024. The project, founded by islander Angus A MacMillan, includes a glass, lighthouse-style stillroom – echoing the Stevenson Lighthouse on nearby Shillay, Monach Islands – and revives a 19th-century single-malt recipe described by Alfred Barnard. Coverage cites an expected annual capacity of about 350,000 litres of alcohol. It has received support from Highlands and Islands Enterprise as well as from the British Business Bank's Investment Fund for Scotland, with the fund's first investment into the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
