Dornoch Distillery is a small, independent distillery located in the Scottish Highlands, founded in 2016 by brothers Phil and Simon Thompson. The two developed their passion for whisky while working at their family's Dornoch Castle Hotel, where they built a renowned whisky bar that helped put the historic town of Dornoch on the whisky map. What began as a deep love for rare and traditional Scotch evolved into a bold ambition to craft their own spirits from scratch. Under the Thompson Bros. label, Dornoch has established itself as a laboratory for flavour, heritage and innovation. The distillery is dedicated to releasing single casks and small-batch whiskies, focusing on rarity, authenticity and hands-on craftsmanship. Their expressions are slightly higher priced than mainstream Scotch brands, but the value lies in their exceptional quality and limited availability. The portfolio also includes the expanding Struie project, described as an ambitious offshoot that further explores the boundaries of Scottish whisky-making. Dornoch and the Thompson Brothers have built a reputation as one of Scotland's most exciting craft whisky producers, attracting attention from enthusiasts and critics alike. The distillery is part of a broader group that also includes the Dornoch Castle Hotel, cementing the family's deep roots in this corner of the Highlands.
