Spirits from the Heart of the Highlands
Founded in 2018 by Thomas and his dedicated team, the Fairytale Distillery quickly made a name for itself — not only through its award-winning, handcrafted gins but also through the passion with which they create exceptional spirits in the untouched Highlands of Scotland.
Nestled in the picturesque village of Ardelve, where the hills of the Isle of Skye frame the crystal-clear waters of Loch Alsh, the distillery offers much more than just a high-quality drink in every bottle — it combines history, craftsmanship, and pure devotion.
The heart of the Fairytale Distillery beats in a copper still, perched in a witch’s house on a peninsula — a place where tradition and innovation merge. Surrounded by the pristine nature of Scotland, gins are crafted here that offer a unique world of flavours through their exceptional combination of classic, regional, and global botanicals.

Basic Knowledge
Most gins fall into the London Dry Category; these gins have a predominantly Juniper taste and are typically very dry, light in body and aromatic. On the other hand, Western or Contemporary gins while still demonstrating a subtly Juniper flavour, are enhanced with additional botanicals giving the gin a more complex flavour.
Finally, the Speciality Category covers such types as Old Tom, Navy Strength and Sloe Gin.
