About Dark Art Distillery
Sitting on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park, the distillery takes inspiration from the park itself, which at night becomes one of the darkest places in Europe for star gazing. Established by Andrew Clark Hutchison in the small town of Kirkcudbright, Andrew has long family ties to the area and is the fifth generation of his family to live and work in the town. The distillery sits alongside a number of other businesses who share the site including the Dark Space Planetarium and a number of art studios. Many of the original school features remain, including the original clock tower and chalk boards.
Production
Dark Art Distillery official opened in July 2021 with the launch of its signature Sky Garden Gin. Forming part of the larger site of the former primary School, the Dark Art Distillery houses a custom-built 450 litre Carl still named ‘Peggy’, after founder Andrew’s grandmother who hailed from Kirkcudbright. The distilling team at the distillery is led by Fiona Williamson, a graduate of Heriot-Watt University’s Institute of Brewing and Distilling.
