Arbikie Vodka 

Arbikie Estate is a family-owned working farm perched on the east coast of Angus. They plant, sow, tend and harvest the fields that make up Arbikie’s range of bottle spirit.  
 
Farming in the Stirling family goes back to 1660, west coast. Their lands passed through seven generations until great uncle Bill moved to a farm at Arbikie on the east coast of Angus in the 1920’s. He then passed it to our grandfather, John Stirling who expanded the acreage before passing the lands over to Alec Stirling. 

Arbikie have been willing to expand their brand to the Chinese market – and they managed to gain a profound understanding of their audience.
