AboutBeinn An Tuirc Distillers
Brothers Niall and Kenny Macalister Hall founded Beinn an Tuirc Distillers with Niall’s wife Emma at Torrisdale Castle Estate in 2016. Distilling began in a converted farm building on Kintyre the following year. Beinn an Tuirc means “Hill of the Wild Boar”, the name of Kintyre’s highest hill and the source of the distillery’s water.
An estate hydroelectric scheme rated at 100 kilowatts helped inspire the project and powers its copper still. Lynsey McGeachy leads the distilling team, with the founding family still serving as directors.
Kintyre Tarbert Legbiter Navy Strength Gin
Scottish Gin
Delicate floral notes open into warming spice and pine, with juniper providing a firm, dry backbone. Hibiscus and pink peppercorn bring lift and aromatic detail, while coriander, angelica, almond, liquorice, cassia and orris build a rounded botanical centre. Despite its navy-strength style, the palate is smooth and lightly sweet, moving through flowers and pine before spice takes the lead. The finish is dry, long and peppery without becoming harsh. Serve with a light tonic and pink peppercorns, or use in a concentrated Martini.
