This ongoing investment is a true testament to the pride we have in our product and our commitment to sharing this with our visitors, ensuring everyone who comes to see us has the most exceptional Edinburgh Gin experience.

With plans to welcome visitors from late 2024, our new Brand Home is more than just a distillery; it’s a place where stories are told, where discoveries are made, where life-long connections are made with our brand, and where the spirit of Edinburgh comes alive.

As we embark on this next evolution of our Edinburgh Gin journey, fuelled by our passion for gin and dedication to excellence, we are now looking for kindred spirits to join us at this truly exciting time…
