Distillery Information

The first single malt distillery in Leith for nearly a century, the Bonnington Distillery is the home of Crabbie whisky as well as the Bonnington range of Scotch whisky. Owners Halewood Artisanal Spirits unearthed the ruins of the old Bonnington House when building the foundations of the distillery in 2018. By chance, just as construction was wrapping up, the remains of the 17th-century building were found by an archaeologist the brand hired, as was evidence of an 18th-century distillery, furnaces from a bronze foundry, and remnants from the Siege of Leith, when French troops were camped in the port in the 16th-century. Sounds delightful, but not for Halewood, who saw progress set back by six months and £500k in change go towards its preservation. The first mash was then due to be made in December 2019, but further bureaucratic nonsense delayed a distilling licence. Production didn’t start until March 2020. Any idea what happened then? Yes, COVID. The Bonnington team, fearing the worst, spent 20 hours over two days distilling all the wash on-site, only to find out that they would shut down for a grand total of one day. Since then, the small, dedicated team has finally been able to do its thing undisturbed, manning the semi-automated distillery, and now fills around 2,200 casks per year. The whisky making process at Bonnington’s begins with crystal clear water untouched for over 1,000 years, a totally unique source of hydration and dilution that the team got to by spending tens of thousands of pounds on a borehole to gain access to an aquifer beneath their Leith distillery.
