Our distillery opened in March 2018 – the first Scotch Whisky distillery in the Scottish Borders since 1837. We’re dedicated to capturing the true spirit of the Borders, and bringing whisky-making back to the region. Our hometown of Hawick has a famous history of manufacturing – it’s where cashmere is king and where tweed was invented. There is a spirit of invention and enterprise in the town that inspires us in everything we do.
The Borders Distillery Puffing Billy Vodka
40% abv
Puffing Billy Steam Vodka is unfiltered malted barley vodka from The Borders Distillery. Regular filtration would strip away the delicious flavours and soft textures of the barley, so instead, the task of smoothing the spirit is handed to Puffing Billy, a rare Carterhead Still.
The spirit vapours are steamed through charcoal inside the still itself rather than filtered as a liquid. This preserves the delicious character and texture of our locally-grown barley. It’s the only vodka in the world made this way, and the result is brimful of character with an incredible creamy mouthfeel.
The malted barley gives puffing billy steam vodka a rich, creamy texture. Its full, rounded smoothness provides an excellent balance to sharp and dry mixer flavours like tonic water or ginger beer.
