Isle of Raasay Distillery has appointed GHF as its distribution and brand development partner across the UK, the Hebridean single malt Scotch whisky brand confirmed in July 2026. The agreement also covers Feragaia 0.0%, the Scottish non-alcoholic spirit that R&B Distillers acquired in November 2025 as part of its Scotland’s New Wave Spirits portfolio.
The partnership spans the UK on-trade and off-trade, including independent retail and premium grocers. Under the deal, GHF will handle sales, distribution and trade marketing for both brands.
GHF’s work will target distribution, account management and in-venue product promotion. The appointment marks a new phase of growth for the two brands.

Both Raasay and Feragaia aim to double the revenue of their UK business in the near term. They already hold a strong following among spirits drinkers in Scotland, and now plan to build presence beyond it. The focus falls on securing positioning in iconic outlets across London and the South.
“As we look to increase our distribution and brand awareness beyond Scotland, where we have built a solid foundation, GHF’s relationships across the most influential venues and retailers in the UK make them the right partner for this next chapter,” said William Dobbie, Managing Director of R&B Distillers. “Their track record of building premium drinks brands with credibility speaks for itself. We look forward to getting started with them as our focused partner on the trade channel.”
Tristram Coates, Founder and CEO of GHF, described the whisky as “one of the most compelling stories in Scotch whisky, a true island single malt with genuine provenance and a quality of liquid that stands up in any company.”
He said Feragaia was “equally distinctive, offering a genuinely grown-up, uncompromising approach to the non-alcoholic category.”
Coates continued: “London’s most iconic outlets are where reputations are made, and that is exactly where this portfolio belongs.”
R&B Distillers was founded in 2014 by Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day. The distillery distils, matures, bottles and markets every drop of spirit on the Isle of Raasay, employing more than 30 people on an island community of just 161 residents.
Feragaia opened Scotland’s first alcohol-free distillery in Fife in September 2022. The spirit is distilled from 12 botanicals, five of which are grown in the brand’s own nursery.
