The world’s first Oyster Gin. The distillery team charge the still with Scottish oyster shells, fresh from Loch Fyne Oysters from the Argyll Coast, which adds a delicate maritime essence. When blended with a mix of traditional and citrus botanicals, this creates a silky, savoury gin which is a perfect pair to seafood and the ideal base for a martini.

About Isle of Bute Distillery
The Isle of Bute is a picturesque island located off Scotland’s West Coast. Small in size, big on scenery, the island is the inspiration behind the Isle of Bute Gins. The brand made a splash in 2019 when they launched their two signature gin expressions, one of which included the use of Oyster shells as a key botanical. Since then the team have expanded their range, moved production back home, all the while working with experienced distiller Simon Tardivel and a beautiful 200 litre copper pot still. They now offer tours, tastings and an on site gin garden in the main town of Rothesay.
Production
Although the initial batch was distilled on Bute, the team had to upscale and produce subsequent batches at their Merchant City Brewing Co. premises in Glasgow for around 18 months. Their long-awaited return to Bute was historical for the team and island community. Production at the new distillery officially commenced in early 2020 and now all the Isle of Bute Gins are proudly distilled on the island in a traditional copper pot still.
