FAMILY BUSINESS

THE BROTHERS

Brothers John, Iain and David are the visionaries and driving force behind Arbikie Distillery. As with all farming families, the brothers grew up working around the farm, and it is this hands-on experience that gave them a deep understanding of, and respect for the land.

Despite pursuing careers away from farming, they have always stayed attached to the family lands - and now with the opening and growth of the Arbikie Highland Estate distillery, they have returned to drive this exciting and continually evolving venture.
