Certified Scottish Gin
All our packaging can be recycled
Home to the 1881 Distillery and inspired by the Peebles Hydro’s former tennis pavilion on the front lawn, Pavilion Gin features a classic gin backbone with the addition of wild Scottish red berries. In the 1920s, the hotel had more tennis courts than Wimbledon, hence this inspired flavoured gin. Along with the red berries, this gin also has a slight hint of floral hibiscus. A refreshing and light gin intended for long, warm summer evenings.

About 1881 Distillery
Peebles Hydro, home to 1881 Distillery and Gin School was originally a retreat for therapeutic water treatments. Built around the Shieldgreen spring, a private spring on the hotel’s estate, the fresh and mineral rich water was said to be legendary for its therapeutic properties. The rich mineral spring still flows and is used in the hotel's gins. Already featuring an extensive list of gins available to guests, and with growing demand for local produce including food and drink, the hotel decided to create its own distillery, gin school and gins, influenced by the history of the hotel and local area.
Production
Named after the year the Peebles Hydro was built, the 1881 Distillery and Gin School officially opened in October 2019, within the Peebles Hydro Hotel. The distillery was designed and built with the help of Jamie Baxter, who is a distillery designer and a renowned distiller in his own right. He worked with the distillery team to develop the four core gin recipes and the more recent editions have been developed by the permanent distillery team.
