Their gin still (lovingly dubbed Matilda) is a "traditional alembic copper pot still with a reflux column added to refine the process".
The pair handcraft every batch using premium Orkney wild and grown botanicals where possible to produce their unique Orkney gin.
So far they have produced Sea Glass gin and Into the Wild vodka, and the distillers hope that their new spirits will complement the already rich food and drink scene that exists on the island.
