Strathearn is a single malt Scotch whisky and gin distillery near Methven in Scotland.[1][2][3][4][5]
The distillery commenced production in 2013 under the ownership of Tony Reeman-Clark, David Lang and David Wight.[1] Initially the distillery produced gin and the first whisky was distilled in October 2013.[3] Strathearn's first scotch whisky was released in 2016.[6]
In 2019, the distillery was acquired by the Glasgow company Douglas Laing & Co.[7] The new owner doubled the distillery's production capacity.[8] A first single malt under the new ownership, The Heart, was released in 2022.[9]
Distillery
The distillery was built within a 160-year-old stone farm steading.[1] The location was the site of an early distillery founded by William White in 1798 that became disused.[2] The distillery has a stainless steel mash tun, two stainless steel washbacks and two stills.[2] The stills are of an alembic type and made in Portugal by the company Hoga, having been originally designed for the Portuguese Sherry industry.[1][3]
Sometimes tagged "probably Scotland’s smallest distillery", Strathearn's distillery is only composed of small 50-liter casks.[10]
The water for the whisky comes from nearby Loch Turret.[1]
