Kate & Jonny started North Uist Distillery in 2017, the result of a long held dream to build a vibrant new distillery on their island home. What began with the two of them on a table-top still in a borrowed shed has become a team of sixteen, passionately creating exceptional spirits drenched in island flavour, and being named Scottish Gin Distillery of the Year three years running.
As islanders, both Kate and Jonny’s families have long held ties to the area – earning a living from both land & sea. The couple wanted to honour this proud tradition whilst also creating something exciting and new, looking for a way that they could create new employment opportunities, attract more visitors to the Outer Hebrides and bring back whisky production to the place they were both born.
Style
Flavoured Gin
Key Botanicals
Juniper berries, sloes and blackberries. The gin is then aged in ex-bourbon casks.
Tasting Notes
Juicy, herbal blackberries, with tart sloes. A hint of almond and vanilla in amongst the juniper, which stays front and centre throughout.
Perfect Serve
Premium tonic/lemonade garnished with blackberries. This also works great in a toddy or straight from a hipflask.
