Kintyre Botanical Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Edinburgh’s first gin distillery in 150 years has a lot to live up to, but with a great location - Summerhall distillery - it already looks well on its way to making its mark. Nothing says you’re on holiday like a boat trip and, with our fantastic ferries, a tour of the island gin distilleries couldn’t be easier. Our distillers Su and Lynsey have been working on a very special project over the last few months and we can finally reveal the details. Priding themselves on creating a taste of Edinburgh, the company's myriad gins are as varied as they are excellent (we recommend the delightfully punchy Edinburgh Cannonball bottled at 57.2% abv).

Having recently moved to Glasgow, they even have their own gin school - which is set to expand soon - now that is perfect for gin lovers to learn the art of making this exciting juniper spirit.

PERTHSHIRE: PERSIE GIN

The flexibility of the recipes and relative simplicity of its production makes gin the perfect spirit for those looking to create and sell their own brand.Not only that but it comes in one of the most fantastic spirit bottles we’ve seen. Designed by the team at Stranger & Stranger, the bottle reflects the rolling waves of the Harris coast and carries deliberate imperfections to reflect the rugged nature of the island itself. With the recent launch of International Scottish Gin Dayand the success of a number of gin festivals, as well as the fact that gin is expected to outstrip sales of Scotch by 2020, we thought we'd take a look at 30 of the best Scottish gins - including the Scottish Gin of the Year - we think you should try: 30 of the best Scottish Gins ABERDEENSHIRE: TEASMITH GIN The pair use Juniper, Heather, Rosehip, Peppercorn and Citrus alongside Silver Birch Tree sap from trees in the local Kincardine Castle Estate.
