In 2023, the Deerness distillery in Deerness, Mainland announced that it would become the first new Scotch whisky distillery in Orkney since Scapa distillery opened in 1885, however this claim was challenged by Hadfield-Hyde, as Kimbland distillery had reportedly been maturing their first batch of Scotch whisky months earlier than Deerness…
