HAND CRAFTED – All of our Gin Bothy gin's originate from our small distillery in the Angus Glens. Hand-turned and hand-batched, each bottle is lovingly made for each customer. Gary Morrison-Lundie of Alex Spink and Sons said: “Smoking fish in the traditional method in a bothy smokehouse is one of the few traditional skillsets still being passed down the generations, using the same techniques and equipment as generations before us. Using that knowledge in new ways creates a connection with other parts of Scottish culture, keeping it alive and in our communities.”

Gin Bothy - Gunshot Gin

Based in Angus, Gin Bothy was founded in 2015 by drinks entrepreneur Kim Cameron. Using traditional methods of production every bottle is numbered, batched and poured by hand. Gin Bothy is now one of Scotland’s premium gin brands, producing 60,000 units in 2020.Full strength, rich in flavour, Gin Bothy Smoked Gin is 100% natural and sugar free and is classed as a London dry smoked gin, with a burnt orange deep citrus forward with the smokiness following. Our Stirrup Cup gin was created in the Bothy, originally a Smiddy - the connection with the land made sense for us to create a gin for the equestrian lover and golfer.

Named after the Stirrup Cup known as a "Parting Cup", it was offered to friends before they travel or ride and was also the shot golfers traditionally took at each hole. Kim Cameron added: “Bringing together the bothy elements along with the best of Scotland’s produce, preserves not just the product, but also the past and it chimes perfectly with our values. We want to safeguard and celebrate traditions that have been passed down the generations and sit at the heart of the unique identity that Scots have protected and carried abroad for so long.” UNIQUE FLAVOURS: Our Scottish gin is infused with fresh Scottish apples, local honey, ginger and our classic hedgerow flower, gorse.

SIGNATURE SERVE: Great neat in a hipflask or over ice. Alternatively serve 25cl of Stirrup Cup with sparkling apple juice or sparkling water with a hint of elderflower. Pop a sliced apple to garnish.
