Founded by two brothers, both armed forces veterans and a hogmanay challenge to blend the ultimate whisky liqueur. The resultant Heidrun began a journey into the intricacies of & joys of blending, compounding, shop fitting, broom handling, form filling & distilling.

Today a visit to the Spirit of Bute micro distillery & shop highlights the passion & love poured into these unique products & locations. Visit us in store to see more of our hand crafted gin, whisky & liqueurs. Watch the stills in action or have a blether with one of our distillers.

We are rightly very proud of our wee island and all that the Isle of Bute produces. Wherever possible we source & grow locally. Everything we do, we do right here on Bute. We find, peel, weigh, taste, measure, test, bottle, cap, design, print & label - all by hand, all in house on the Isle of Bute.

We are a small family business that lives, spends & enjoys all that our magical island & vibrant community has to offer & love to share that passion with our visitors. We also really appreciate you supporting small independent businesses like Spirit of Bute.
