First, they travelled the world. Through Gordon’s advertising work, they experienced the excitement and vibrancy of city life in the Middle East, London, and Edinburgh. But, as their family grew, they were ready to realise their dream of moving home to the mountains, clean waters and star-studded night sky of Badachro.
Fuelled by a shared passion for living a simpler, more peaceful way of life, they set up their dream home and thriving B&B, Aird Hill, where they settled on building a Highland-inspired, sustainable distilling business.
Gordon soon completed his formal training in distilling, gaining valuable insight and work experience at a distillery in Perthshire. With their hospitality and advertising backgrounds, combined with Vanessa’s previous work in horticulture and study of botanicals, Badachro Distillery was born.
