Jaynie Kean, managing director of Jackton Distillery, said: “Local Appreciation Weekend is about inviting people in and showing them what we do. We’re proud of how the distillery has grown, and we want our neighbors to feel part of that journey.”
“Whether it’s a tour, a gift for someone special, or joining us for the Hoedown, this weekend is a simple way of saying thank you and encouraging people to come back again,” Kean added.
Founded by the Kean family, Jackton Distillery produces its RAER portfolio of spirits. The range is currently led by blended Scotch whiskies with a variety of cask finishes, alongside gin, vodka, and wine.
The distillery is working toward full grain-to-glass production. Its first single malt whisky is scheduled for release in September 2026.
In recent years, Jackton has built a reputation for its intimate tours, seasonal events and a growing program of community-led experiences. The distillery sits within Scotland’s Lowland whisky region, an area that has seen renewed investment and a wave of new distillery openings over the past decade, with producers emphasizing approachable, lighter spirit styles.
