Kit | Owner & Distiller

Kit is the founder, owner and distiller (and every other job pretty much) at Ninefold Distillery. He decided to build a micro rum distillery on his family’s estate in rural southwest Scotland after struggling to find work following completion of a PhD in 2016. Kit was the only employee at the distillery through two years of planning and building, and three years of operation. Praise/complaints about our rums should be directed to the man himself!

Favourite cocktail: Daiquiri

ADAM | sALES

Adam joined Ninefold as our first official employee in May 2022, after a background in sporting goods sales. Rum is a new category to Adam, being a lifelong whisky fan. But we’re slowly turning him! Adam is now the go-to guy for Ninefold order enquiries, so reach out to him via the Contact page!

Favourite cocktail: The Bog Cutter

Watson | Cat

Watson is Kit’s shadow, happily following him and his guests around the distillery, usually in hope of a treat or three. Watson’s main role (it says here) is to keep the mice out of the molasses, but really he’s a part of the Ninefold furniture and now part of the branding. Can you spot him on our bottle and labels?

Favourite cocktail: Rabbit Ear Punch
