1881 distillery
Peebles
Not many hotels are host to a distillery being built upon their Victorian
swimming pool, but that didn’t stop our minds from wondering. The idea for the
1881 Distillery came from our history and heritage of tennis. Standing on the
steps in front of Peebles hydro, overlooking the old tennis pavilion, reflecting
on the days of gin and tonic being a popular tipple on the lawn. Could we use
our pavilion to turn our private spring water into Gin?
