The Abhainn Dearg distillery is located on the Scottish isle of Lewis, the most westerly and largest of the islands in the Outer Hebrides. It was founded in 2008 by islander Mark Tayburn and was built on the remote far western coast of Lewis, close to the tiny hamlet of Uig, in a converted derelict fish farm. The proviso was to produce hand crafted spirit in a traditional way. Abhainn Dearg (pronounced aveen-jarrek) is translated as 'red river' from the local Scottish Gaelic dialect and refers to the colour of a local river. It is the first ever legal distillery in the Outer Hebrides.
