A look back at Nordisk Sanse Retreat 2026 💙
Days unfolding between heat and cold, stillness and movement. Here are some of the moments our guests stepped into along the way ❄️💫
Northumberland’s first English Single Malt Whisky has landed📣
Exactly three years after the first casks were distilled, @AdGefrin celebrates a landmark: their first whisky has officially become a single malt.
Crafted using barley from local farms and water from the nearby Cheviot Hills, the single malt is the epitome of field to glass. Born from four generations of the Ferguson family and rooted in centuries of Northumbrian tradition, this whisky is the essence of place, heritage and craft. Bold, full-bodied and unmistakably Northumbrian, it’s a spirit that tells the story of the land and its people.
Available to purchase in 2027. Discover more, or book a tour and tasting at adgefrin.co.uk.
