Introduction

Shetland Reel is a distillery on the northernmost inhabited island of Unst in the Shetland Islands, known for its award-winning gin and blended malt whisky. It distils London dry gin using botanicals inspired by the island landscape and produces blended malt whisky finished on site, drawing on local character and traditional methods. The distillery occupies a striking position near Saxa Vord and is recognised as the most northerly distillery in the United Kingdom. Visitors can take part in guided tastings and book tours to learn about the production process and taste the spirits in person. The distillery’s products reflect the influence of Shetland’s environment, including botanicals for gin recipes tied to seasonal and coastal elements. Its location and craft focus make it a notable stop for visitors to the islands interested in spirits and local culture.
