Isle of Mull Cheese & Spirit

Isle of Mull Cheese and Spirit is a unique, family-run enterprise based at Sgriob-ruadh Farm near Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. This sustainable business prides itself on a circular economy, producing award-winning farmhouse cheese and a distinctive range of spirits, all from the milk of their own herd of cows. Their dedication to quality and local production makes them a significant part of Mull’s food and drink landscape.

The core of their offering is their renowned Isle of Mull Traditional Farmhouse Cheese, a tangy, cheddar-like cheese made from raw milk and matured in their cellars. They also produce Hebridean Blue cheese. Expanding their innovative approach, they utilize the whey, a by-product of cheesemaking, to distill a unique line of spirits, including whey-based gin (Coo J’N), vodka, and ‘Wheyski’. This creative approach minimizes waste and maximizes the value from their farm’s output.

Visitors to Sgriob-ruadh Farm can experience this integrated operation firsthand, with a farm shop and the stunning Glass Barn Café on site. They offer tours that delve into their history, the cheese-making process, and the distillery operations. Isle of Mull Cheese and Spirit stands as a testament to resourceful island living, providing delicious, ethically produced goods and an insightful visitor experience.
