Isle of Cumbrae distillery is a gin distillery in Millport, Great Cumbrae, Scotland.
The distillery's founders initially met at a fundraiser for renovations to Millport Town Hall; none of the founders had a distilling or licensing background. [1] In May 2020, the company launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise £10,000 to purchase a still, in partnership with the Royal Bank of Scotland. [2] The crowdfunder raised £25,000, and the distillery's first gin, Nostalgin, was released in September 2020. [3]
The second gin release, Croc Rock, was named after a painted rock in Millport, and used cacao, ginger and orange as botanicals. [4] The third gin release, Restoration, would support fundraising efforts for Millport Town Hall. [1]
In April 2024, Caroline Christie and Struan Fraser took management of the distillery, with a planned transition to ownership over the following three years. [5] Later that year, the distillery was shortlisted for "Gin Tourism Destination of the Year" at the Scottish Gin Awards. [6] In 2025, the distillery released a gin in support of the Ayrshire Hospice. [7]
The distillery's first vodka, called Veya Vodka after Saint Bega, was released in October 2025. [8] Shortly afterwards, Kilmarnock FC announced a partnership with the distillery to release the club's official gin, Killie Gin. [9]
