Meet Mairi and Tony, the couple behind Darach.

For them, a cask’s life doesn’t end when the spirit leaves the oak.

From their workshop in the Scottish Highlands, they transform reclaimed barrels by hand, preserving the grain, marks and character gathered over the years.

The result is distinctive furniture with a sense of history.

Discover the exhibition in our atrium and shop, free to visit until 30 September.

Did you know it took 450 hours to create our six-metre Yule Goat? That’s enough time to read Beowulf almost 200 times.

Join us in dressing it ahead of The Yule Gaderung, combining thatching, sewing and crafting skills.

It’s a fun opportunity to learn a new craft, work alongside others and enjoy complimentary refreshments.

We’re heading to the Glendale Show this Saturday!

Find us in the Food & Drink Tent for a dram, a chat about the distillery, or just to say hello.

Our giant six-metre Yule goat will be joining us too. See work begin on its straw coat, and sign up to get involved over the coming weeks.

Glendale Show holds a special place in our story, as it was here in 2018 that Ad Gefrin was first launched. We’re proud to return and support our local agricultural community eight years on.
