Solway distiller creates Scotland’s first ever ‘tequila’ spirit

If you’re looking for Scotland’s first tequila, you won’t find it under that name. Just like Scotch whisky has to be produced in Scotland, so tequila can only be distilled in Mexico.

“It smells like tequila, it tastes like tequila and it’s made like tequila, but it can’t be called tequila because it’s 100% distilled in Scotland,” said Mr Clark Hutchison.

“That’s the beauty of it for me.

“There are other Scottish distilleries that have tequila, but they get it from Mexico, whereas this is 100% distilled in Scotland, here in Kirkcudbright. We’re making it from scratch.”

The name Vespero relates to venus and the evening star.
