Arcturus Torridon Gin Scots Pine Edition brings together a selection of the original botanicals that feature in the distillation of the Arcturus Torridon Gin Original Edition but with the addition of Scots Pine needles. Some of the botanicals are sourced from the estate’s kitchen and gin garden, with Scots Pine needles sourced from trees on the estate. The flavour delivers sweet and citrus notes from pine and lemon verbena with a subtle hint of rosemary to give a fresh herbal note.

About Arcturus Torridon Gin
Arcturus Torridon Gin draws its name from a first-magnitude star in the constellation of Boötes, which is amongst the brightest stars that can be seen from Earth and is related to the stag and the rising of the star Arcturus. The Torridon is a 5 star hotel and resort set in 58 acres of Scottish parkland at the end of the magnificent sea loch, Upper Loch Torridon. The team noticed there was no specific gin from Torridon despite a rich bounty of wild botanicals growing nearby.
Production
While the key botanicals in Arcturus Torridon Gins are locally foraged from around the beautiful Torridon Hotel location in Wester Ross, the team enlisted the expertise of the team at Dunnet Bay Distillery, makers of Rock Rose Gin, to bring their gin to life. The Torridon Hotel, home to the Arcturus Gin range, created their very own gin garden in 2019, as part of their existing and impressive kitchen garden, which houses and grows many of the botanicals that go into making their gins. Plans are underway to create a distillery within the hotel, moving full production to the Torridon.
