About Angus Alchemy
Martin Brown, Phil Paton and Campbell Archibald founded Angus Alchemy after deciding to create a distillery that combined Scottish tradition with creativity and “a little chaos.” When a site at Woodhill near Carnoustie became available in 2021, they transformed the former caravan lot into a bio-boiler-powered distillery, blending moonshine-era style with steampunk, up-cycled materials and modern design. Two engineered stills, Ann and Gus, enabled spirit production and recipe development, leading to Prickly Gin, Prickly Gin Navy Strength, Prickled Pink Gin and their moonshine range. Angus Alchemy officially opened in December 2022, offering unique visitor experiences and spirits full of personality.
Production
Located on the outskirts of Carnoustie, Angus Alchemy operates from a converted industrial unit housing two engineered stills, Gus and Ann, where all distillation, production, labelling and bottling take place onsite. The distillery offers a variety of Scottish gin and spirits-focused experiences, including immersive tastings that let visitors sample the range, explore the distillation process and learn about botanicals. Guests can also add extras such as locally sourced food, and accommodation is available to book through the distillery’s website.
