Why Benbecula?
Benbecula is a new island distillery with a clear ambition: to create a distinctive Scotch whisky shaped by the Outer Hebrides. Our spirit is made on Benbecula and reflects the character, climate and culture of the islands.
Owning a cask offers a rare opportunity to join the distillery during its formative years. Each owner becomes part of a small founding community, with a direct relationship with the team and a tangible place in Benbecula’s story.
We hope you join us and help craft The Spirit of the Hebrides.

Our Whisky
Benbecula Distillery incorporates essential aspects of island life and farming, including the revival of ancient distillation techniques that shape our Hebridean single malt Scotch whisky. Seaweed is foraged from the island’s shores and used to enrich the soils on founder Angus MacMillan’s own croft. Here, bere barley, the oldest known strain of barley dating back over 6,000 years, is grown on the island. This, allied to the addition of heather within the peat kiln, produces our single malt whisky defined by Hebridean smoke, blackcurrant, floral notes and an enticing coastal flavour.
The distillation and production is overseen by Master Distiller Brendan McCarron. Renowned for his work at Glenmorangie, Oban, Tobermory, Deanston, and Bunnahabhain, Brendan is widely recognised as one of the most respected figures in the Scotch whisky industry.
We are crafting whisky that reflects our islands. Having begun production in 2024, we are sharing our spirit through a private whisky cask programme, allowing whisky enthusiasts the opportunity to involved from the beginning, and to hold a piece of Benbecula that can mature and last a lifetime.
