Growing up in East Fife in the shadow of the world’s biggest distillers, Bill was particularly inspired to bring new age and innovation to an age-old process.
Feragaia is a distilled alcohol-free spirit made from 14 land and sea botanicals.
It is progressively distilled, blended and bottled in the Scottish Lowlands, an area governed by centuries of spirit innovation.

It is also moving into a thriving market.
Sales of soft and alcohol-free drinks in the UK rose by 80 per cent in pubs, bars and restaurants during 2019 according to CGA Research Consultancy - and 32 per cent of adults have tried an alcohol-free spirit, wine or beer.
Feragaia has over 50 stockists in the UK, over 40 of which are in Scotland.
As part of Dry January, Feragaia will be hosting a variety of pop-up experiences in Edinburgh to coincide with Burn’s Night.
