About The Borders Distillery

In a converted factory in Hawick, the Borders Distillery began work on 6 March 2018, the first legal whisky distillery in the Scottish Borders since 1837. While its malt matures, a Carter-head still makes its gin, named for William Kerr, a Hawick-born botanist. The founders are four former William Grant & Sons executives. Three Stills Company's.
