If you’ve come looking for a selection of Scotland’s finest spirits or, better yet, a whole new take on the distillery experience, well… here’s one we built earlier.
The best way to get acquainted with our wares. Just off the A92 a 10 minute drive from Dundee is where you’ll find us waiting for you – with glasses charged and a fully stocked bar
Campbell, Martin and Phil are the guys behind the whole operation. One part entrepreneurial, one part mad scientist, a dash of mayhem and a good measure of down-to-earth-ness, you’re more likely to find them in the bar than the boardroom.
What do you initially think of when you hear the term ‘Moonshine’? Bathtubs, bitterly strong, illegally produced spirit capable of rotting teeth? Here at Angus Alchemy, we are rapidly changing that narrative.
So is it Whisky, Gin or Rum then? It’s most definitely not any of these!
With a nod to traditional distilling practices, we revive the craft of moonshine in the heart of Scotland. Our twist on the prohibition era moonshine involves combining a rye/grain base spirit with the best locally sourced quality ingredients inspired by traditional Scottish recipes. Each batch is meticulously created to deliver rich and distinctive flavours, being filtered seven times, and then left to infuse for 6 to 8 weeks before being hand bottled, labelled, and sealed.
The mixers of mayhem have come up with countless recipes that offer adventurous drinkers a taste of Scotland’s hidden heritage in every sip. We don’t want to give too much away though, so why not book in for a tasting to see for yourself how our exceptional range of moonshine goes from still to shelf?
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but lately there’s a bit of noise around the wellbeing of the environment. We couldn’t help share that concern, not to mention the responsibility of doing our bit. That’s why at the heart of our operation sits the bio boiler we had purpose-built.
Utilising fully sustainable, local wood chips, it provides heat, water and steam for all our works. Come to think of it, it’s arguably the hardest-working member of the team. Soon enough, it’ll heat our onsite accommodation, known as Distillery Digs too!
Then there’s the heat sync tanks that are used for condenser management which means reduced water use but recyclable content too. We even recycle charcoal in our flavouring and composting processes. Oh aye, and all our merch and packaging is recycled too. Of course.
On yer bike? No problem. Think of our Cycle Sanctuary as the perfect pit stop for anyone touring through Angus’ glorious bike routes.
