About Bonnington

The result of a multi-million-pound investment, The Bonnington Distillery was commissioned in 2019 and began production in March 2020, with an estimated 4200 casks per year. It is the first single malt distillery in Leith, Edinburgh, for nearly 100 years.

The Bonnington story began in 2017 on Graham Street in Leith, Edinburgh, just a stone’s throw away from the original John Crabbie’s site – one of the oldest names in Scotch whisky and a true pioneer in the industry, The distillery is steeped in history and takes its name from the original Bonnington House which was a military HQ during the siege of Edinburgh castle, which can be seen from the Distillery building.

Whilst building the foundations for the distillery, ruins of the old fortifications were discovered and taken over by archaeologists to excavate and photograph, providing the inspiration for our citadel icon.
