How are we protecting deliveries

Health and safety measures in our distillery and packing area were already at a very high level prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.  We have enhanced our cleaning regimes and minimised the number of people involved in activities.  Our deliveries continue to be fulfilled by Parcelforce who have also adapted and improved their processes to maximise the safety of deliveries.

What do we recommend you buy

If you want to try botanical spirits for the first time then we recommend one of our bright, colourful gift packs that have a combination of the spirits and liqueurs we make in either 200ml/20cl or 50ml/5cl bottle sizes.

Our first release, Birch and Elderflower Wild Scottish Spirit is a clear, modern, Scottish spirit. We use birch buds and elderflowers lovingly picked from spring woodlands near our on-farm distillery. We work our magic with them and copper distil them to produce a smooth, tantalizing and surprising flavour with a long, warm aftertaste. It works great as a frozen shot, over ice or with soda water garnished with a slice of apple for our perfect pour. It is a great alternative to gin or vodka in cocktails.

Our Larch and Honeysuckle Wild Scottish Spirit is a clear, modern, Scottish spirit.  We use spring Larch buds and summer Honeysuckle flowers picked from woodlands near our on-farm distillery. The larch buds are matured in grain spirit for a number of months before we slow copper distil to produce a spirit with smooth, complex and surprising flavours. A light, vanilla and fruity aroma lead through to a surprisingly smooth, citrus and light-spicy tasting spirit that lingers long on the palate with hints of umami. It works great straight over ice, with soda, tonic water or ginger ale garnished with a slice of lemon and it is great in cocktails.

Our Birch and Elderflower Wild Scottish Liqueur lead with the beautiful floral tones of the Elderflower with the deep, warm birch coming through the finish. We use birch buds and elderflowers sustainably hand-picked from woodlands near our distillery. We, copper, distil the birch buds to produce a fresh, smooth spirit and elderflower is added as a post-distillation infusion to create this super-smooth liqueur. The liqueur is lovely straight over ice, can be lengthened with soda water or lemonade, is glorious when added to champagne or prosecco and is a perfect ingredient for other cocktails.  Silver Medal – San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020.

Our Birch and Sloe Wild Scottish Liqueur have a rich fruity depth provided by a long maturation from the sloes. We use birch buds and sloes sustainably hand-picked from woodlands near our distillery. We copper distil the birch buds to produce a fresh, smooth spirit and the sloes are added and mature in the spirit for between 3 to 6 months before finishing as a liqueur. The liqueur is lovely straight over ice, can be lengthened with a soda water or lemonade, is glorious when added to champagne or prosecco and is a perfect ingredient for other cocktails.
