The story of your local Southwest Distillery: Dartmoor Whisky Distillery  

Several years ago, a group of whisky connoisseurs embarked on a journey to the remote Islay in the Hebrides to craft their own whisky. After their journey, they questioned why Devon, with its ideal climate and soil for barley growth, clear spring water filtered through granite, and exceptional air quality, lacked a whisky distillery.  

Devon boasts of outstanding local producers like Warminster Maltings, a traditional barley malting house, and a plethora of cask beer brewers. All the necessary components for a premium single malt whisky exist in Devon.  

Inspired by his work at Bruichladdich Distillery in 2009, founder Greg Millar conceived the idea of Dartmoor Whisky. This vision became a reality with the assistance of Simon Crow, and the Dartmoor Whisky Distillery was established, your local southwest distillery.

Our unique building   

Housed in a beautifully restored Grade II listed building, the distillery produces small-batch, handcrafted whisky using locally sourced ingredients.  

The town of Bovey Tracey is a quaint and picturesque destination located in Devon, England. It boasts a rich history and a stunning natural landscape that attracts visitors from all over the country. One of the most unique and interesting attractions in the town is Our Distillery, located in a charming and historic building that dates back to 1866. 

The building’s history as a fire station, cinema, and civic hall adds to its character, and its recent restoration by the distillery has only enhanced its beauty. The distillery’s dedication to using locally sourced ingredients, inspired by the rugged terrain of Dartmoor, is a testament to their commitment to quality and sustainability.  

It is no surprise that the distillery has become a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a glimpse into the world of whisky-making and a chance to taste their unique blends. The distillery’s location in the heart of town makes it an even more charming and special destination, adding to the allure of the already picturesque town of Bovey Tracey. 

Visitors to the distillery can take a tour of the facilities, learning about the whisky-making process and the history of the building. The distillery also offers tastings, allowing visitors to sample their award-winning whiskies. Overall, Bovey Tracey is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the beauty and history of rural England, combined with a taste of the country’s finest whisky.
