'AK Stirling' is the arable farm behind the renowned Arbikie Distillery, owned and operated by the Stirling family. Located on Scotland’s east coast, the farm grows a diverse range of crops including malting barley, peas, wheat, rye, potatoes, and oilseed rape. These home-grown ingredients form the foundation of Arbikie’s field-to-bottle spirits, ensuring full traceability and a deep connection to the land. With sustainability at its core, Anniston Farms reflects the Stirling family's commitment to regenerative agriculture, quality, and innovation.

AK Stirling and Arbikie Distillery are proudly owned by the Stirling family, working together to grow and craft world-class spirits from field to bottle on Scotland’s east coast.

At AK Stirling, and our sister distillery Arbikie, sustainability and creativity are at the heart of everything we do. This year, we’re trialing an exciting intercrop of winter wheat and spring peas on our farm. By growing these two crops together, we aim to improve soil health, reduce inputs, and enhance biodiversity - while unlocking new flavours and possibilities for distilling. Our intention is to harvest this intercrop as one unified crop and craft a truly innovative spirit that reflects our commitment to regenerative agriculture and field-to-bottle production. Arbikie has always championed provenance and experimentation, and this project is another step toward creating spirits that are as good for the planet as they are for the palate.
