The distillery is quite a different one as we have gone for a 100% copper bespoke designed and hand-built Bennet Style Still from Italy (yes it was over a year late, but now its running it is truly a remarkable distilling system). We have a rectifying column and infusion basket, so we can distil a huge range of products from rums right through to floral and delicate spirits. Seven Crofts, which is a small batch dry gin hand distilled in Ullapool, is a vibrant gin with notes of perfumed forest fruit, spicy hints of coriander and pink peppercorns - giving it a long, warm finish. Consistently voted one of Scotland's most popular gins, this island spirit has been making waves since it launched in 2015 thanks to its unique taste and eye-catching bottle, which has also won awards. USP: Genius IPA brings together Mosaic, Simcoe, and Citra hops. At 79 calories and 3% abv, each can is one unit of alcohol and features calorie, units, and nutrition labelling. Add all into an ice filled shaker and shake until fully mixed and chilled. Double strain into a coupe glass and garnish with a twist of lemon.

You also get a free sample or a miniature bottle of Edinburgh Gin to take home. Booking is essential as weekend availability is limited. USP: This release is “set to become the pinnacle of The Dalmore Principal Collection”. The single malt is a new annual release, limited to 8,000 bottles. The expression rests for an initial period in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels. The whisky is then matured in casks that were previously used within the solera system to produce Gonzalez Byass’ 30 Year Old Matusalem oloroso sherry. We offer tours which last an hour and are with a distiller (rather than a tour guide) and at the end of the tour we present the 'science pour'. This is a pour using explanations of differing density as to why you can create a fresher and brighter gin and tonic. The tour delves into the history of gin, the history of our family, then into the science of botanicals - this is a time where we interact and run through the flavour profiles with botanicals. Finally we visit our state of the art bottling line (the labelling system is the impressive part). After tasting some of Tennent's products, including exclusive brews, visitors will take a short trip to the distillery where a tour and guided tasting of Makar Gin and single malt awaits.

Ginti Gin

USP: As alcoholic tea grows in the US, Broadland Drinks has created its own version of the drink. Twistea is an alcoholic, semi-sparkling cold brew tea available in four flavours. It is vegan-friendly and 89 calories per can. Owners of Persie Gin, Chrissie and Simon have focused their gin production on the adage that 75 per cent to 95 per cent of a gin’s flavour profile is based on smell, creating a Zesty Citrus Gin, a Herby & Aromatic one and their Sweety and Nutty Old Tom Gin.

USP: As RTDs enjoy their moment in the sun, the Refreshr Lemonade is the brand’s latest addition to its canned range. With four fruit flavours on offer, White Claw describes the drinks as a “new take on a summer classic”. Oro Strawberry Cup (Oro Gin, Mint syrup, Strawberry syrup, Lemon juice, Vanilla rum and a Schweppes lemonade) USP: Majestic celebrated English Wine Week 2022 with the launch of a new Definition Bacchus – the first still English wine to join the company’s own label range. It is made for the retailer by Henners in East Sussex. During the tour, visitors will learn about the Darnley's story, meet Dorothy the copper still, find out more about the history and botanicals before trying the three gins. Relax and enjoy a gin or two at Glasgow’ gin spa. With a range of treatments available, a gift voucher is an ideal present for those looking for good gin and relaxation in the New Year.USP: Created as a “healthier” alcohol alternative, Punchy has added three new flavours to its vegan soft drink range, and has revamped its recipe so that the drinks include vitamin D. In addition, the drinks will now be available in a “plastic free” canned format. Hand distilled in Ullapool, it’s a vibrant, opulent gin with notes of perfumed forest fruit, and spicy hints of coriander and pink peppercorns giving it a long, warm finish. USP: Treasury Wine Estates will be supporting the launch of 19 Crimes Revolutionary Rosé 1.5l bag-in-box with an integrated marketing campaign, which will include in store activity, social and influencer engagement and PR over the summer period. My absolute favourite is a Negroni. This consists of Oro, a wonderful Vermouth (like Antica Formula Carpano), a dash of Campari and a drop of our own bitters. From March until November, husband-and-wife team Martin and Claire Murray welcome guests for a tour of their distillery, including an introduction to Elizabeth, their copper still.
